DescriptionCreating a successful video game is hard work. Creating successful learning games that strike the right balance between obtainable learning goals, engaging game play, quality content and repeat playability is a hard fought, heavily negotiated battle between a product's many stakeholders.

In this session, Scott Traylor, founder of the learning games company 360KID, will discuss the challenges and successes of developing real world learning game products that are sold to schools as well as developing consumer learning products that find their way onto the shelves of Wal-Mart and Toys R Us. Scott will discuss his company's involvement with the creation of the Pokemon Learning League, a multi award winning learning product for students as well as handheld and online learning games with other broadcast, toy and and educational publishing companies. Real world examples and best practices will be shared with the products discussed in this presentation.
