A few weeks back, I did an interview with the Learning Partnership, a charitable organization dedicated to supporting, promoting, and advancing publicly funded education in Canada through lasting partnerships between business, government, education, and community organizations.

Listen on to hear about gamification vs. game-based learning, chocolate-covered broccoli, careers in the game industry, and more.
