Description
Like a brilliantly designed game, this timely and important text is creatively entertaining and appropriately complex. It is as much about gaming and innovative technologies as it is about college opportunity, postsecondary literacies, and student success. Were this book a tweet, I would continuously retweet it. -- Shaun Harper, Center for the Study of Race and Equity in Education, University of Pennsylvania A stellar collection that outlines how game technologies can be used by colleges and universities to increase access and reach a broader range of students. It goes further, however, and shows how higher education should embrace the cultural values of a digitally networked world. -- Kurt Squire, Co-Director, Games Learning Society, Wisconsin Institute for Discovery; Romnes Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison
