The Multiplayer Classroom: Game Plans is a companion to The
Multiplayer Classroom: Designing Coursework as a Game, now in its
second edition from CRC Press. This book covers four multiplayer
classroom projects played in the real world in real time to teach
and entertain. They were funded by grants or institutions,
collaborations between Lee Sheldon, as writer/designer, and subject
matter experts in various fields. They are written to be accessible
to anyone--designer, educator, or layperson--interested in
game-based learning. The subjects are increasingly relevant in this
day and age: physical fitness, Mandarin, cybersecurity, and
especially an online class exploring culture and identity on the
internet that is unlike any online class you have ever seen. Read
the annotated, often-suspenseful stories of how each game, with its
unique challenges, thrills, and spills, was built. Lee Sheldon
began his writing career in television as a writer-producer,
eventually writing more than 200 shows ranging from Charlie's
Angels (writer) to Edge of Night (head writer) to Star Trek: The
Next Generation (writer-producer). Having written and designed more
than forty commercial and applied video games, Lee spearheaded the
first full writing for games concentration in North America at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the second writing
concentration at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. He is a regular
lecturer and consultant on game design and writing in the United
States and abroad. His most recent commercial game, the
award-winning The Lion's Song, is currently on Steam. For the past
two years he consulted on an "escape room in a box," funded by
NASA, that gives visitors to hundreds of science museums and
planetariums the opportunity to play colonizers on the moon. He is
currently writing his second mystery novel.
