Anatomy of a Learning Game: From Design to Development to Distribution
Jen Groff, Leigh Hallisey, Allisyn Levy, Anne Richards, Heather Robertson

Developing a learning game means bringing together a diverse set of viewpoints, talents, and priorities. The list of “must haves” is lengthy: determining technical requirements; developing compelling and relevant curricula; maximizing the potential of embedded assessments and adaptability; delivering great user experience; reaching an often over-saturated audience; and implementing the game in its intended market.

This panel brings together the perspectives of five individuals who focus on different areas of this process, including an assessment expert, a developer, a publisher, a distributor, and a classroom teacher to share their experiences through the prism of their collaborative work on an innovative new learning game, Classroom Inc’s After the Storm.
