The Center for Games and Impact at ASU has partnered with Intel to innovate around their online teacher professional development courses.
Intel, a leader in online teacher PD has trained millions of teachers around the globe through its Engage program. ASU Center for Games and Impact is a leader in investigating, innovating, and cultivating games for impact.
By applying research from the learning sciences powered by game mechanics and principles, the Center is working in deep collaboration with Intel to develop a model, curriculum, and platform to provide teachers a learning experience that goes beyond traditional online learning, and promotes collaboration and practice in the classroom with the ultimate goal of impacting the millions of students that teachers interact with each year.
The first journey to be released, “Designing Projects for Impact”, puts the teacher in the role of designer, using project-based approaches that foster leadership, team work, curiosity, and 21st Century skills, to build deeply engaging learning experiences for their students. This journey is scheduled to begin Beta testing Fall of 2015.
