Games+Learning+Society 12 Conference

(Developer/Publisher) and the (Non-Profit Design Organization) have been working together to turn a paper game developed with teachers at the (Innovative Public School) into a digital multiplayer game playable in classrooms around the world. The game is approaching a public beta release, and they would like to share their lessons from this productive case study in collaborative development involving the classroom, which include: going from paper to tablets, in-person to multiplayer online; embracing the differences between intended and actual implementation in the classroom; and scaling from a handful of classrooms to many subject areas and millions of users.
