About

The Learning Games Network is a non-profit spin-off of the MIT Education Arcade breaking new ground in the design and use of learning games.

While the evolution of games has been dramatic in entertainment, it’s been slow in other areas. Like education.

Design, development, and production are expensive. Impact is untested. The school market is choked.

Yet, demand for change is coming from all sides. Parents want solutions. Teachers seek alternatives. And, students – well, anything that inspires and motivates them in the new digital reality is a good thing.

We’re here to move the proverbial ball down the field.

Our team is committed to the development and distribution of games informed by research in the learning sciences, creative design, and technical development. From electrostatics to Shakespeare, our work spans a vast range of subject areas.

We’re here to create new opportunities for education in the digital age.

Our products and services include:

Design consulting services for creative learning game concept development

Project management services for companies and groups that are new to learning game design and production

Learning goal and assessment model design and development

Design training seminars and tool kits for companies, schools, and other groups
