Treadsylvania - ATV Safety Game from NMSU Learning Games Lab. (March 2011). Playable at http://treadsylvania.com, "Treadsylvania" is a Web-based interactive game, designed to help learners ages 8-18 understand how to ride All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) safely. Treadsylvania isn't your traditional ATV training program, but instead, it is a fun, visually appealing adventure game that can be played in short bouts (less than an hour).

Improving Academic Performance through Exergames. (February 2011). In this presentation shared at an inservice for Las Cruces Public Schools, Dr. Barbara Chamberlin provides on overview on exergames, shares research on the impacts of activity on classroom performance, and gives recommendations on how to implement exergames (also called "active video games") into classroom learning.

Educational Game Design Model. (December 2010). Barbara Chamberlin shares the Educational Game Design model developed at NMSU. The educational development studio involves content experts and game developers in their game design process, also employing a rigorous user testing process throughout development. In this presentation, she explains the pre-development work they do in working from broad educational objectives, forming team, immersing team members in both the content and game design, and guiding questions for refining educational objectives and driving game development.

Trying Very Hard to Make Games that Don't Stink: User Testing at the NMSU Learning Games Lab. (November 2010). Barbara Chamberlin, with the NMSU Learning Games Lab, shares their user testing processes and strategies. The educational development studio involves content experts and game developers in their game design process, also employing a rigorous user testing process throughout development. The Games Lab developers host learners in their target audience for 2-week sessions during the summer, and on holidays throughout the schoolyear. They train their "game lab consultants" in giving feedback, and have access for frequent testing. Barbara shared the underlying principles that guides their user testing, with recommendations on how they could be amended by others for testing, even in shorter session.
