Proof of Learning: Assessment in Serious Games - 2 views
-
This article is from 2005, but there is some interesting material reviewed. Of course, the article mentions Jim Gee. One part that I found interesting was where Jim Brazell, a consulting analyst at the Digital Media Collaboratory, basically says that the only way someone can make an effective simulation game is to understanding thoroughly that which is being simulated. Thus, creation of games has the "potential to lead to new knowledge and new ways to do things through emergent behavior." This is the first time I've seen such a clear description of how game design can be used to build knowledge.

RSA Animation about Motivation and Drive - I found this video from Neville's Journal (http://gamesmooc.shivtr.com/journals/11707) but the RSA Animate always helps me understand it better. Most of this is VERY business oriented, but there are some interesting nuggets for us edu-nerds!

"A new way to manage classroom instruction is slowly creeping into the world of education: " Gamification ". Gamifying simply means turning the class content and the way students learn into a game with a rewards system, quests, experience levels, and healthy competition." This page is more useful for K-12 educators, but there are a LOT of resources that will still be helpful for post-secondary educators as well. This is more of a list of resources and definitions than any kind of critical discussion or a list of practical suggestions, but it's still very useful.
