We make learning fun! In this episode, Samantha and Luis interview Dr. Erik
Verlage, a research scientist at the Ohio State University who works on
interactive media and games in education. Discussion ranges from the use
and value of games in education to GeoGuessr and the difference between
toys and tools. Where’s the dividing line between a game and a simulation?
Why were Skyrim players willing to spend hours on the same thing at the
forge, even when it wasn’t fun?
