Equipping the Designers of the Future

Abstract

This article seeks to create a synthesis of different elements of epistemic games and their place in the larger scale of games and educational games and the potential for learning as these elements are incorporated into classroom use. This article is intended to assist educators in familiarizing themselves with the concept of epistemic gaming to both enable them to incorporate these ideas in teaching the next generation of game designers and developers and to encourage its inclusion among the various markets available for game design.
