IL4 - Diving into Interactive Learning: Playing Tailored Educational Video Games in College Physics and Biology Courses
Room: H-625
This session immerses participants in interactive gameplay with tailored educational video games for college-level electricity and magnetism physics courses and general biology courses. Designed with diverse game mechanics, these games aim to captivate and motivate learners. Following gameplay, attendees will partake in scholarly discussions exploring their experiences, integration strategies, and the potential benefits and limitations of these digital tools in fostering student learning and engagement within the sciences.

Neerusha Gokool-Baurhoo
Université de Montréal, MontrealCurrently, I am a PhD Candidate in Education at McGill University. My research focuses on exploring academic barriers that college (CEGEP) students with learning disabilities (LD) encounter in science education. As well, I am examining barriers that college science teachers experience in teaching their students with LD, and strategies that they employ to overcome their challenges. In collaboration with professionals and teachers at John Abbott CEGEP, I am investigating the impact of an intervention-based strategy on academic outcomes and motivation levels of student athletes.
I am also a part-time course lecturer in the Department of Animal Science, McGill University.
