Wharton's Kevin Werbach on "All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in World of Warcraft"
Kevin Werbach, assistant professor of legal studies and business ethics at Wharton, recently presented "All I Really Needed to Know I Learned in World of Warcraft" at Philly Pecha Kucha.
Pecha kucha, the Japanese word for "chit-chat," is a fast moving presentation governed by a simple rule: show 20 images and talk about each for only 20 seconds.
Prof. Werbach provides an overview of World of Warcraft and discusses how the massively multiplayer online game has lessons for the real world.
A video of the presentation (shot from the audience with a shaky camera) is available on YouTube:
