On Using Games for Learning
On today’s episode we’ll cover Using Games for Learning.
Some of the most common applications are gamification, serious games, and games-based learning. But, that is not what many people see in practice. There are some really popular interpretations of learning games. Those focus on a few areas like the following: Scoreboards keeping track of players’ progress. Playful feedback in activities, and Tracking of students’ goals and achievements. On their face, these all contribute to the field of games-based learning. But there are definitely some other things you should consider when using games for learning. Motivation is one of the most critical areas for games-based learning. Specifically, we aim to use intrinsic motivation.
