    The paper suggests a multi-dimensional approach to analysing digital games. The good or bad criticism should be replaced by thinking about the games' effects in terms of (1) the amount of play, (2) the content of play, (3) the game context, (4) the game structure, and (5) the mechanics of game play. Considerations should be put into each of these 5 dimensions when a game is being designed.

      In my experience, this where the dysfunction of the relationship between It professionals and academic designers/educators will manifest.  Unless the health of this communication stream is supported directly, the gears of academic technology will crunch like a torn rotator cuff, causing every bit as much pain and chagrin.

  • open is technology or content that can integrate painlessly with other resources.
  • Often, they’re unable to use the technology that works best for their students because they’re locked into systems they’ve used in the past or because the complexity of creating a seamless classroom overwhelms them.

      Amen. 
  • Closed and rigid learning technology can keep students and educators stuck in place and create frustration.

      Self-fulfilling the prophesy of some that technology is an expensive waste of attention- when in fact it simply requires a more refined attention to realize its potential.
