MobLab Economics Games in Cengage MindTap, Fall 2019.
We’re excited to announce our new partnership at Cengage’s 14th Annual Economics Teaching Conference, (NETA). Beginning as a pilot this spring with a full roll-out in Fall 2019, our interactive activities will be seamlessly integrated into Cengage’s leading digital learning platform, MindTap.
Instructors will be able to assign and administer MobLab economics games within a student’s learning path in MindTap and incorporate scoring into the MindTap gradebook. Additionally, our experiments will be available for leading upper level Economics courseware products, such as International Economics, Game Theory, Behavioral Economics, and Money & Banking.
“We are thrilled to announce this partnership with Cengage,” beams Walter Yuan, MobLab CEO. “The combination of great content with a platform that connects theory and practice through interactive experiments revolutionizes the student learning experience.”
Erin Joyner, Senior Vice President for Higher Education Product at Cengage added, “Gaming engages students in learning, and the addition of MobLab to MindTap for Economics will reinforce key concepts while also helping students to think critically and problem solve — important skills for the classroom and beyond.”
Here are the MobLab experiments to look forward to in MindTap Fall 2019:
Competitive Market with Tax, Subsidy and Price controls
Public Goods: Threshold & Linear
Prisoner’s Dilemma (Push and Pull)
Externalities with Policy Interventions
Asset Market (Bubbles & Crashes)
