Designing computer games to teach history
Provincial Funding: $46,646
At the Simulating History Research Lab at Brock University, Dr. Kevin Kee is creating educational computer simulations - commonly called "serious" games – focused on history. He’s also testing and evaluating how these games engage and teach the subject. His work will help to make history come alive for Canadians and result in an improved understanding of, and appreciation for, Canadian history. The technologies he develops and tests will have applications in many other areas.
