Course Title Credit Hours University Brief Description Notes Syllabus Link (If Available)
Games in Libraries 3 Queens College This course will examine video games from a cultural, social, and learning perspective. Rather than focusing on game design or analysis of game play, this course will focus on ways in which video games have been used in libraries as part of collections, for special events, and for teaching and learning. Through readings of critical works we will engage with questions such as are videogames primarily artifacts of play or are video games an expressive form such as poetry and theater? Using a variety of theoretical & methodological approaches a range of topics will be discussed; gender and race in gaming; intellectual property and commodification in games, players as producers of game content; games as sandboxes; and virtual worlds.
