This is a really new way to incentivize or gamify some mundane processes in corporations. I can see this having an impact. .

Another article on digital textbooks. The author describes how students in Joplin, MO, went digital after the tornado destroyed their schools. Mixed results.

Nice post, Stepahnie. I have already borrowed a couple of ideas from this for my project, such as some training modules within the game to provide mastery experiences.

shared by Jennifer Jocz on 11 Mar 10 - Cached

"So I don’t see games as having the power to completely change music purchasing, rather they will expand economic opportunities for music creators and fans in ways we’re just beginning to understand. Games are already expanding the variety of music people are exposed to and are therefore likely to want to purchase and own, as well as the places and circumstances under which this mutual reinforcement takes place."

"While there are now many studies showing links between gaming and learning -- for kids and adults -- to date there have not been many rigorous examinations of their relationship to music education, although there is plenty of anecdotal evidence of their mutual reinforcement. Remember that musical training isn’t solely about scales and correct finger placement; rhythm, song structure, key changes, lyrics, genre styles, etc. are all elements of a musical education, and playing along with songs on Rock Band absolutely aids in the development of the awareness of these elements."
