What do we know about how games influence learning? There's been over a decade of academic focus on games and learning, and we'll translate what we know back to how we should play, design games for learning. We'll focus on current tabletop, RPG, and digital games research from Indiana University's Playful Culture Lab, along with perspectives drawn from participation other academic/gamer communities and organizations, such as Games+Learning+Society and the Higher Education Video Game Alliance.
