=Welcome to Resource wiki for the ALT Games and Learning Special Interest Group=



This is a dynamic collection of resources in the field of games and learning. The group use a wide definition of games and learning and this site focuses not simply on learning //with// games (using games to facilitate learning and teaching), but also learning learning //from// games (studying what makes games effective and how we can use these techniques), learning //about// games (as cultural artefacts) and learning //through// games building.

The resources available on this site are not limited to digital games, but also include non-digital games, and traditional games (such as card games and board games) and mixed-media games within scope. The focus is primarily on games and learning with adults (in Further and Higher Education, as well as training, work-based and informal learning) although items pertaining to children and other areas are induded where they are relevant to this domain.

This is not a space where you will see an anbundent use of the terms "Serious Games", "Gamification" , "Stealth Learning" and we dont know what we feel about "hard fun".
