Continuing with the theme of this blog, please check out this excellent example of how gaming can be effectively used in online college courses. ECN 201 is offered online at the University of North Carolina, Greensboro. A demo of this course is available with the link below.

Cindy,

This is try two. I checked out your UNC gaming site. WOW! I have been opposed to gaming as a way of instruction as my past experiences have always been with games that rank the grades of the students so that only one or two students can get A's, B's, etc. If the new types of games can provide a way of students receiving grades that are not ranked or on a curve, I'll be interested in trying games again.

I'll be checking your blog a lot now to see what other innovations you find.

Awesome find, Cindy! I am intrigued by UNCG's ECON course. Their entry page drew me right in.
