His current research projects include work with game-based learning, learning analytics, and virtual reality. In this webinar, we will discuss the theories and practices of using game- and simulation-based learning in the classroom. We'll share methods for integrating games and simulations to support a range of learning goals. The discussion will be relevant to face-to-face, hybrid, and online learning environments.
