ABOUT LUMEN

Conceived by Carol Record as part of her MFA thesis on game-based learning at Jacksonville State University, Lumen emerged from her personal challenges in the realm of education. Drawing on her passion for games, education, and photography, Carol designed a game that effectively engages students, breaking the ice and facilitating camaraderie while also serving as a versatile tool for delivering course content.

Carol created Lumen as an educational tool for her classroom, and it was such a hit with educators and students that she was encouraged to publish it. Carol has since created her own game-based learning publishing company, Blackwater Buccaneers, and is on a mission to work with other educators to develop innovative, creative solutions that help them make learning fun and engaging for students.
