Abstract

Curriculum and Pedagogy spatial planning principles
This 2013 Exploratory Learning and Teaching Grant project brings together two innovative and successful USC projects: the board game, 'Design your ultimate suburb' and the Engage Lab's interactive mapping table. The resulting 'serious' game will provide prospective and current students with the skills and attributes to interpret and engage with the multidisciplinary nature of regional and urban planning. An interactive, multi-touch table allows teams of students to simultaneously collaborate on the application of spatial planning principles to deliver sustainable urban and regional communities. This process provides many opportunities for 'deep learning' around economic, environmental, and social parameters and interactions, which are central to the development of modern communities. This is the first 'fit for purpose' teaching and learning game for regional and urban planning.
