2007 Annual TLT Meeting

Economics 201: The Online Game University NC Greensboro     Bruce Loving  and Bob Prout from UNC Greensboro will discuss the development and teaching of  their revolutionary game-based microeconomics course, ECON 201.   "Our online Economics course is just one in our constellation of online courses. Each and every one is highly interactive, highly involving and highly effective. So you learn better and faster - and have fun at the same time. Course content is presented through problem-solving tasks that are part of the overarching game narrative. Students can register for ECON 201 even if they are not enrolled at UNC Greensboro. The course fulfills three credit-hours in the social sciences - a core requirement for most college and university degree programs. Students experience course content and see the immediate consequences of the decisions they make."   For more information go to ECON 201.   NPR, All Things Considered,                  October 19, 2006 "Sarbonians negotiate outside a cave on a post-apocalyptic Earth in this screenshot."   "Sarbonians Crash-Land on Earth and Grapple with Economics of Survival" "Jeff Sarbaum wants to compare students who learned microeconomics in a classroom with his students, who learned about it while pretending to be a green space alien."
