round one: connect & discuss

Jan. 1, 2006 - Nov. 15, 2006

Phase I started in January of 2006 with investigating current research efforts on the educational benefits of simulations and games. Engage has also organized sessions during the Fall semester with University instructors to discuss community needs for building, adapting and utilizing games and simulations in higher education.

On November 16th, 2006 we are hosting Play@Pyle for faculty and staff to see examples of current simulatinos and games in use at UW-Madison. There will also be additional conversations about what campus needs for the successful use of these tools in higher education. We are still looking for people to work with! We will continue community building effots through both Phase II and III. Please consider either joining a special interest group or subscribing to our blog.
