The session included a Futurelab presentation on the role of informants - be they students, teachers, graphic artists, software developers or academics - in the creation of a learning environment5. The second contributor, Caroline Pelletier, discussed methods of working with students - this highlighted the need for students to be exposed to the principles of game design prior to having them act as co-designers. In both presentations the goal is to create a resource that is motivational but embedded in teaching strategies, pedagogies and educational contexts. This supported the argument about the difficulties in grafting games into education discussed in the first session.
