Since the Spring of 2012, CASL has hosted a series of bi-monthly lectures by thought-leaders in the field of gaming to explore core issues in the field. The program is aimed at increasing the educational opportunities for game designers, as well as creating a forum for cross-institutional dialogue on techniques and best practices. Lectures will be posted to this page after each session for public access and use. We encourage you to use these lectures for a wide range of educational purposes. Please credit both the speaker and series when citing these lectures.
If you are interested in taking part in the teleconference lectures, please contact Ellie Bartels or Katie Dusek to be added to the list host for the series.
