Abstract

This chapter explores the use of game-based teaching in teacher education courses. It compares a version of a course taught in a traditional manner to the game-based version. It then traces the evolution of the author's use of game-based teaching and details ways the author overcame various obstacles in subsequent courses. In doing so, it discusses the affordances and constraints of learning management systems and concludes that small changes in learning management systems would greatly improve the ability to use them to create curricular games.
