Leadership learning through games in co-curricular settings

Abstract

Developing leaders through games in the co-curriculum provides an opportunity for creative and innovative program design across learning taxonomies. Game-based learning provides a value-added experience for busy students who are balancing competing demands on their times. Additionally, co-curricular participants are often more receptive to less-traditional pedagogy incorporating technology, social connections, and fun. This article offers practitioners insight into developing and assessing games for co-curricular experiences.
