Importance of Games to Learning
Games require and encourage participation for learning (Learning happens consciously and unconsciously)
Opportunities (Autonomy, Challenge, Exploration, Enjoyment)
Games provide entire worlds designed to help learners adopt roles and engage in storylines which were previously made inaccessible to them
Definitions (Types of Game Development):
Problem-Based Learning: Games that are designed to help player achieve a learning goal and content understanding.
Narrative: The narrative in games consists of the plot, sounds, music, atmosphere, dialogues, player choices and, of course, gameplay. It creates the overall impression of a game and allows the player to feel like part of a story.
Transformational Play: game-based curricula with narrative storylines and interactive rules that integrates a dynamic unity between person, content, and context. Here, learners use their understanding as active decision makers to inquire circumstances and change them.
- Transactive: The dynamic interplay between player and storyline. The actions and experience a player undergoes modifies both the player’s identity and understanding
