The Metagame: Quest to Explore An Underutilized Learning Space

• In Event: The Metagame

Short Description

In gaming culture, knowledge is gained from a diverse and specialized ecosystem of resources known collectively as the metagame. The metagame provides divergent perspectives on game play, strategy, tactics, and technologies to resolve the obstacle the player is trying to overcome. Participants as players themselves will collaboratively quest through a transmedia navigation of the metagame, common gamer approaches to engagement and knowledge acquisition, and brainstorm on potential applications to their classroom and course design.
