He specializes in game-related development and research on comprehension, problem solving, and cultural cognition. He develops serious games, persuasive technology, and health interventions.

He teaches course work on games and cognition, user experience research, UI/UX, and how learning research can improve game design for return on investment (ROI). He is also the founder and principal learning architect at www.vgalt.com for design, production, user research, and evaluation of learning systems as games. He is also the founder of the Coder Dojo in Hamilton, Ontario, providing young people instruction to learn how to code, develop websites, apps, programs, games and more (http://hammertowncoderdojo.org/). Brock Dubbels is currently a post-doctoral researcher at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. His appointment includes work on game design and user experience research.
