Featuring a guild design and rich media, the GAMESMOOC series of three Massive Online Open Courses (MOOC) employed an activity-based learning approach to provide learners with a multisensory experience.

Take a tour of the GAMESMOOC and learn how the conceptual course design, roles, activities, and energy grew throughout this vibrant series of free online courses that leveraged popular games for educational use.

Apps, AR and ARGs

ARAugmented Reality blends virtual content over a real world environment via computer-generated sensory input through a GPS-enabled application that features sound, video or graphics.

It may use a lens or a magic mirror approach to display the virtual content through a camera or mobile device onto the physical environment. Some apps may use GPS and geo-location data.

ARGAn alternate reality game (ARG) is an interactive narrative that uses the real world as a platform and uses transmedia storytelling to deliver a story that may be altered by participants' ideas or actions.

Participants interact with the game clues, receive messages and have a personal experience that blurs the lines between the real world and the game environment.
