Title: ''BrainAge: Breakthrough Intergenerational Learning Game'' - Intergenerational Learning session

Listen.

Topic: Games, and education; X-Cutting Theme: Strategic Doing 

Description: The game development industry has had a difficult time reaching over-40 adults and, in fact, has long ignored them. Now enters BrainAge, a game for all ages released by Nintendo for its DS handheld device. What can developers learn from this outrageously popular game, and how can this knowledge be applied to make applications more attractive for older and mixed-generation audiences? An expert on aging, games, and technology delivers prescriptives for industry. Karen Riggs, Director of the Game Research and Immersive Design (GRID) Lab at Ohio University, is an avid BrainAger in her spare time.
