Frankly, I don’t see many of those people who work on games in the areas of museums or culture, science communication, education and informal learning turning up at more general games events and conferences (some do, but not many).

But I really think anyone interested in games for whatever purpose really needs to be at these events, to see the quality that is out there and that they should be aspiring to and learn from those who have created successful commercial games. I don’t just mean the biggies, such as Develop or GDC, though that would be good. There are plenty of really great, inexpensive games events (gamecamp, wild rumpus etc etc).

One more thing to think about: use a runtime interoperability specification like TinCan to return outcome data to a learning record store or learning management system. There are not many of them around at the moment that will do much with the data, but hey – someone has to get the ball rolling, and if it isn’t the chicken, then it had better be the egg.
