Lee, Joey J.; Ceyhan, Pinar; Jordan-Cooley, William; Sung, Woonhee
Simulation & Gaming, v44 n2-3 p349-365 Apr-Jun 2013
The literature on climate change education recommends social, accessible action-oriented learning that is specifically designed to resonate with a target audience's values and worldview. This article discusses GREENIFY, a real-world action game designed to teach adult learners about climate change and motivate informed action. A pilot study suggests that the game fostered the creation of peer-generated user content, motivated informed action, created positive pressure, and was perceived as a fun and engaging experience.
