This book covers four multiplayer classroom projects played in the real world in real time to teach and entertain. They were funded by grants or institutions, collaborations between Lee Sheldon, as writer\/designer, and subject matter experts in various fields. They are written to be accessible to anyone--designer, educator, or layperson--interested in game-based learning. The subjects are increasingly relevant in this day and age: physical fitness, Mandarin, cybersecurity, and especially an online class exploring culture and identity on the internet that is unlike any online class you have ever seen. Read the annotated, often-suspenseful stories of how each game, with its unique challenges, thrills, and spills, was built.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLee Sheldon began his writing career in television as a writer-producer, eventually writing more than 200 shows ranging from \u003ci\u003eCharlie’s Angels\u003c\/i\u003e (writer) to \u003ci\u003eEdge of Night\u003c\/i\u003e (head writer) to \u003ci\u003eStar Trek: The Next Generation (\u003c\/i\u003ewriter-producer). Having written and designed more than forty commercial and applied video games, Lee spearheaded the first full writing for games concentration in North America at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the second writing concentration at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He is a regular lecturer and consultant on game design and writing in the United States and abroad. His most recent commercial game, the award-winning \u003ci\u003eThe Lion’s Song\u003c\/i\u003e, is currently on Steam. For the past two years he consulted on an \"escape room in a box,\" funded by NASA, that gives visitors to hundreds of science museums and planetariums the opportunity to play colonizers on the moon. He is currently writing his second mystery novel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583060041966,"sku":"9780367249045","price":134.4,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780367249045.jpg?v=1721094158","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/multiplayer-classroom-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
