Mission

The CUNY Games Network connects educators from every campus and discipline at CUNY who are interested in games, simulations, and other forms of interactive teaching and inquiry-based learning. Our long-term goals are to facilitate the pedagogical uses of both digital and non-digital games in order to improve student success, and encourage further research and scholarship in the developing field of games-based learning.

Who We Are

The CUNY Games Network was established in the fall of 2008 by English faculty Joe Bisz (BMCC), Francesco Crocco (BMCC), Carlos Hernandez (BMCC), and C. Jason Smith (LaGuardia).
