Game – Based learning at the University level

Abstract

During the last week of July (2011)--in association with the University of Economics and Finance (UEF), Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam--I assisted a colleague who delivered a workshop on the methods and techniques of teaching at a multi-disciplined university. This week-long workshop was very competently organized by UEF administrators and staff and was well attended by UEF adjunct and full-time instructors. The presentations were quite comprehensive and covered the basic elements of instruction that would be encountered by university professors and instructors at a typical American campus. Even though the information was presented from a perspective associated with higher education in the U.S., the ensuing discussion focused on the instructional challenges inherent within the typical university classroom in Vietnam.
