Collegeology at the DML

February 23, 2010

Collegeology team members Tracy Fullerton, Victor Garcia and Zoe Corwin recently attended the first annual Digital Media & Learning Conference. The three discussed the evolution of the Collegeology Games Project and initial research findings during the session, The Promises and Problems of the University as a New Digital Landscape. Audience members were particularly excited by the possibilities the game holds for overburdened college counselors and the developing Facebook application.

Like a game, the college application process is a system with rules. Mastering a game takes practice, but, for most people, the college application process is a game we only get to play once.

The Collegeology Games project strives to create playful ways to understand the systems essential to accessing higher education. Collegeology Games provide a safe environment to learn and experiment with higher education strategies and choices before it really counts.
