On the latest episode of the NEXTcast podcast, available free on Soundcloud and iTunes, we speak with Geoff Lachapelle, eSports coordinator and Game Programming lecturer, about the educational value of competitive gaming.

Nestled in the LB building at Humber’s North Campus is a competitive gaming space, designed for closed private practice sessions and competition in an effort to create an efficient and effect training space for competitive student gamers.

“What video games can do, at their core, is show you how to create better practice tools, better improvement tools, how to look at your performance in whatever you’re doing, and be constructive and critical with yourself on how to improve.” – Geoff Lachapelle
