Inexpensive Game Shells: Add Your Own Content

Posted by Karl Kapp on April 9, 2009

One of the available game engines.
The folks at Wisc-Online (Wisconsin Online Resource Center) whom I’ve written about before in Library of Learning Objects have created a number of game shells that are inexpensive and available for use with students.

They have:

Baseball
Hangman
Jeopardy
Match
Build Your Fortune
Bingo
Tic Tac Toe
LearningLand
Case Study
Quiz
Game Show

The games range from $1 to $3 each and provide unlimited usage for up to one full year. (A price even Jane Bozarth would love:)

Check them out and let me know how they work.

Karl, I love games, but this is just tarted up drill and kill, no? Shouldn’t we be advocating more meaningful practice than extrinsic motivation?

Karl is a very knowledgeable consultant, and he is one of the first people I turn to for input on learning technology and gaming.

If you are looking at creating 3D games or immersive learning simulations you must read Karl's books and blog or better yet, hire him!
