WHAT IS A GAMESCAPE
GameScapes combine visual storytelling with game-based learning elements to stimulate
curiosity and introduce course content in a way that helps you connect key concepts to the real
world. At the foundation of this approach is the use of highly authentic, photorealistic
environments brought to life with an interactive technology overlay and an embedded “natural
assessment” infrastructure.
The Nutrition GameScape includes five episodes that take roughly 20 minutes to complete.
Available via a web browser, you can access these modules anytime, anywhere and can replay
them multiple times in order to improve your score.
