Background

About Rilla Khaled

I'm an Associate Professor in Design and Computation Arts at Concordia University in Canada. My research interests span the design of learning and persuasive games, interactions between games and culture, procedural content generation, and practices involved in game design. Lately I've been exploring "deep" playing/learning experiences that often take place when you play experimental games. My latest focus is on reflective game design, a new design perspective that embraces ambiguous subject matter, pushes for subverting game design standards, and draws together learning and experimental games. Specialties: Game design methods, critical and reflective design, interaction design, third wave HCI, serious games, digital games, participatory design, cross-cultural psychology, quantitative and qualitative research methodologies
