Quest: Journey Through the Lifespan
The first learning game of its kind in Developmental Psychology!
Quest: Journey Through the Lifespan is an engaging and innovative auto-graded learning game housed in Connect for psychology courses. It provides students with an engaging experience to apply content from their human development curriculum to real-life scenarios.
Students play unique characters who range from 9-months-old to 80-years-old and make decisions that apply key concepts and theories as they negotiate events in an array of authentic environments.
As students explore real-world behaviours, cultures, and processes, they encounter diverse contexts and biological, cognitive, and socioemotional factors. Each quest offers multiple options for students to choose from, allowing for different experiences among classmates. This enhances their understanding of the complexity and diversity of real human development.
