Ludolio lets schools borrow videogames instead of buying each copy
Two academics built Ludolio, a game library that lets schools borrow games instead of buying them for every student.
Two University of Sydney academics, Jen Scott Curwood and Marcus Carter, created Ludolio. Ludolio fixes a major problem with teaching games in schools: cost and access.
Getting games into school computers is hard and expensive. Each student needing a $30 game is too much.
Ludolio works like a library for games. When teachers tried to use Night in the Woods with a Year 7 class, the school blocked the platform.
They lost 200 game codes. A real game library treats games like books or films.
It removes the barriers that keep games out of classrooms, even though games teach history, philosophy, planning, and storytelling.
