Afternoon Keynote
Games 2 Learn: Bring Back the Boys with Dr. Alison Carr-Chellman and Dr. Brett BixlerGames 2 Learn: Bring Back the Boys is a presentation that focuses on the cultural mismatch between boys and schools, staring very young and looking forward into the detachment that happens when those same boys enter the University gates. Gaming is seen as one of many tools we might use to help connect with our men learners to bolster their retention and perseverance. Some ideas on how we in higher education can better meet their needs through gaming will be explored in this presentation.

Members of the MAGPI and NJEDge teams will be present during the discussions to answer any technology-related questions that may arise.
