Games that Teach Program Overview
Adults learn better when they are engaged and there’s no better way to make your workshops more engaging than to reinforce key concepts with fun and creative games. Play along as you learn how to design, develop, and facilitate games that support your learning programs.
“I valued the structure of games in regard to the storyline and the difference between gamification and games. Great facilitator.”
