Gamification in learning is a people-focused curriculum structure that seeks to transform the way that you absorb and implement new information (Lee, J.J. & Hamme, J. 2011). Change Lab is incorporating years of research done in the gamification field into courses that will harness the motivational power of games and apply it to real-world problems.

"Instead of providing contents for learning, games may be designed to provide rich and meaningful contexts deemed essential for higher-order thinking and social skills to develop" (Squire, 2006). Games situate players in designed problem space; players are learners who must develop the intended problem-solving skills to tackle the challenges (e.g. Squire & Jan, 2007).
