MIT Professor Henry Jenkins has long been an advocate of computer games. His support for the medium has been witnessed at the top of the political pile; Jenkins frequently testifies in front of the US Congress against game regulation and in support of digital openness. This morning at SxSWi, he joined game developer Warren Spector and learning academic James Gee on a panel celebrating the role of games in learning.
I spoke with Jenkins after the panel and asked why games are such good tools for learning. He also assured me he was staying in the policy space after he moves to his new position at USC.
