Digital Game-Based Learning

This is the Paragon House edition of the classic work by Marc Prensky. Prensky traces the shift from traditional learning to digital game-based learning. He demonstrates how learners have changed, how digital game-based learning works, its applications, and implementation and shows the role of teachers and trainers in this new arena.


Today’s workforce is quicker, sharper, more visually oriented, and more technology-savvy than ever. To truly benefit from the learning power and enthusiasm of this new workforce, training methods must adapt to the way people learn today. Written by the founder of Games2train, this innovative book is filled with examples and information to meet the demands of both educators and employers.
