《多人教室：遊戲計畫》是《多人教室：將課程設計為遊戲》的伴隨書籍，該書由CRC Press出版，目前已進入第二版。本書涵蓋了四個在現實世界中實時進行的多人教室專案，旨在教學和娛樂。這些專案由贊助或機構資助，並由作家/設計師Lee Sheldon與各領域的主題專家合作完成。這些內容旨在讓任何人都能輕鬆理解——無論是設計師、教育工作者還是普通人——對基於遊戲的學習感興趣。這些主題在當今社會中越來越相關：身體健康、中文、網絡安全，尤其是一門探索互聯網文化和身份的在線課程，這門課程與您見過的任何在線課程都截然不同。閱讀每個遊戲的註解故事，這些故事充滿懸念，講述了每個遊戲如何在獨特的挑戰、刺激和意外中構建而成。

Lee Sheldon began his writing career in television as a writer-producer, eventually writing over 200 produced shows ranging from Charlie's Angels (writer) to Edge of Night (head writer) to Star Trek: The Next Generation (writer-producer). In 1994, tired of television, Lee turned to his new love: video games. Since then he has worked on over 40 games. In 2006 he began teaching video game writing and design at Indiana University. While there he first started designing classes as games. He also wrote and designed an alternate reality game that went through three iterations. The first two, The Skeleton Chase and Skeleton Chase 2: The Psychic, were funded by the Robert Wood Foundation and were designed to improve student fitness. The third, Skeleton Chase: Warp Speed was a redesign of the second game, shrinking playtime from 7 weeks to 3 days for a group of Coca Cola executives from North Africa.In 2010 Lee moved to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where he was an Associate Professor in the Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences program. There he was co-director of the GSAS program for three years and created the first full writing for games program in North America. He was lead writer and creative director on several incarnations, both a class designed as a game and a digital version, of The Lost Manuscript a narrative-driven game teaching Chinese language and culture.He joined the Interactive Media and Game Development (IMGD) program at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 2015 where he is again designing classes as games and has developed the second full writing for games curriculum in North America. Lee's book Character Development and Storytelling for Games (Second Edition, 2013) is the standard text in the field. He wrote the bestselling book The Multiplayer Classroom: Designing Coursework as a Game (2011). Over 1500 people in 45 countries now follow the Facebook page for his method of teaching classes as multiplayer games. His recent applied game projects include The Janus Door, a cybersecurity class designed as a game, funded by an NSF grant, and currently running at California Polytechnic State University. He wrote and designed Secrets: A Cyberculture Mystery Game, an online class designed as a game teaching culture and identity on the Internet for Excelsior College that went live Fall 2015; and wrote Crimson Dilemma, a business ethics video game for his old school, Indiana University, that debuted Fall 2014.
