Can Video Games Improve Higher Education

On May 11, a panel of writing and gaming experts from across the nation will convene at Excelsior to discuss the use of “serious games” – or digitally immersing students in real-world issues and situations - in education programs. Representatives from Ohio State, SUNY Stony Brook, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Rochester Institute of Technology are among those from academia who will participate in the panel. Global education thought leader Clark Aldrich will moderate the panel. The event will be livestreamed on the Internet. Register to watch for free: bit.ly/GamesSummit
