The document introduces Story and Game Academy (SAGA), which is an exploration of the learning potential of good video games. SAGA frames learning as gameplay by having students complete missions like building game levels, creating artwork or comics, and reviewing games to earn experience points both individually and as a team to unlock new mission types and games for the class.
