The multiplayer classroom is a technique to incorporate game elements into course design. The course is the game!  The multiplayer classroom movement started in 2010 with Lee Sheldon, who was a professor at Indiana University at the time.  Professor Sheldon’s pursuit of integrating a game experience into the classroom resulted in a book, The Multiplayer Classroom: Designing Coursework as a Game, which has guided hundreds of educators to design their courses as games.  In the May webinar for the edWeb.net Game-Based Learning community, presenter Andy Petroski, Director and Assistant Professor of Learning Technologies, Harrisburg University of Science & Technology, shared his experience with a recent course re-design from a standard format to a multiplayer classroom format.  Andy presented an analysis of student feedback as well as other case studies beyond his own course re-design.
