GameProf.com is the blog of Dr. Joey J. Lee, Assistant Professor at Teachers College, Columbia University. Lee directs the Real World Impact Games Lab at TC. He designs games and creates experiences that address social issues, help people learn, and promote real-world impact, including Scholars Quest, which turns higher education into a more structured, collaborative experience, and Science City Heroes, which explore how game mechanics can get students in urban New York City middle schools more interested in science. This site provides information and resources about his teaching and research.
