Abstract Deadline Extended for the 2016 CUNY Games Festival!

Attention all CUNY and non-CUNY Gamers! We have extended the deadline for abstracts until November 1st to accommodate additional faculty and student presentations!

The CUNY Games Network is excited to announce the third annual CUNY Games Festival to be held on January 22, 2016 at the CUNY Graduate Center in Manhattan. We will also host a playtesting / game day on January 23rd at a nearby location.

The CUNY Games Festival 3.0 is an exciting conference to promote and discuss games, simulations, and other forms of interactive teaching in higher education. Last year, the first CUNY Games Festival drew nearly 200 educators and students and gained widespread attention as one of the nation’s only conferences devoted to game-based learning at the college level. Currently, the CUNY Games Network is seeking proposals for the upcoming conference on the many ways games are impacting higher education. Conference participants will be able to present with posters, game demos, or interactive presentations. The deadline for proposals is now November 1. Both CUNY and non-CUNY participation is welcome.

The CUNY Games Network of the City University of New York is excited to announce the third annual CUNY Games Festival to be held on January 22, 2016 at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City.

The CUNY Games Festival is a one day conference to promote and discuss game-based pedagogies in higher education. We aim to bring together all stakeholders in the field: faculty, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, and game designers. Both CUNY and non-CUNY participation is welcome.

Who we are: The CUNY Games Network is composed of over 100 educators from a wide range of CUNY campuses and disciplines. Our members are interested in games, simulations, and other forms of interactive teaching. We seek to facilitate the pedagogical uses of both digital and non-digital games in higher education and to encourage research and scholarship in the dynamic and growing field of game-based learning. Our steering committee consists of a multi-disciplinary group of CUNY faculty and staff.
