  • One of the biggest obstacles to wide-scale acceptance of GBL in our classrooms is the lack of proper training for our teachers.
  • This is the area that most people think about when they hear the term “game-based learning.” This course is about evaluating all types of games to ascertain their relevance and effectiveness in student learning:

  • Online educational game “collections,” such as Primary Games Arena, BrainPOP, and zondle Non-digital games, such as conventional board games and card games
  • Having students design and develop their own games is a powerful way to have students learn not only about the technical and creative aspects of making a game but also about content-specific topics (such as history or math) that needs to be embedded in the game. Popular game creation tools include:
  • In this course, teachers will learn how to design and develop their own educational alternate reality game or other new media game that does not require programming skills nor a large development team to build.
  • Using game elements and principles to turn a class into a more game-like setting can be a way to help motivate and engage students. In this course, teachers will learn about the pros and cons of using gamification strategies, such as the use of badges and point systems, in the classroom or online course and ways in which they can implement these strategies.

    Game-based learning" refers to teaching-learning actions carried out in formal and/or informal educational settings by adopting games. It encompasses the use of both games designed expressly for fulfilling learning objectives (educational games) and "mainstream games" those games that are developed for fun when used to pursue learning objectives.

    This talks about IJGBL, a study completely devoted to understanding GBM and promote its design and future. They hope to identify, explain, and improve the interaction between learning outcomes and motivation in video games, and to promote best practices for the integration of video games in instructional settings. This provides students, researchers, instructors, and policymakers with valuable information in GBM and increases their understanding in designing, developing, and deploying successful educational games.

    This lab allows classes to learn through gaming. The classroom becomes the game by personalized learning by using quest-based learning and game mechanics. The students can progress through standards and categories the teacher can create. The 3D GameLab is currently closed, but it will kick off in an online spring camp for teachers and instructional designers that provides the tools and training to turn the classroom into a living game. Up to 60 students are allowed to play their way through the curriculum.

    I know that some are saying that we can't gamify education. But what happens when problems become a game and we compete to find answers? This article talks about foldit and how crowdsourcing has become a possibility for something that can work when it becomes a game. This is a great read for those exploring how we will use games in education. I would suggest that this is an approach that we could use. ". Foldit, a novel experiment created by a group of scientists and game designers at the University of Washington, had asked the gamers-some still in middle school and few boasting a background in the sciences, much less microbiology-to determine the how proteins would fold in the enzyme. Within hours, thousands of people were both competing against (and collaborating with) one another. After three weeks, they had succeeded where the microbiologists and the computers had failed. "This is the first example I know of game players solving a long-standing scientific problem," David Baker, a Foldit co-creator, wrote at the time."

  • A University at Albany research team is developing a computer game to train people to recognize cognitive biases they routinely use when confronted with incomplete information or operating under time pressure. Such biases can lead to bad decisions in critical matters, including national security.
  • a non-commercial video game to help players recognize their biases and learn not to depend on decision-making shortcuts when processing and assessing information.
  • "Our aim ultimately is to have people not only learn about these biases but to begin to think differently when they are faced with a decision and do not have all the information and all the time they want.

    This workshop session at WebWise 2012 shows that museums are looking at gamifying just like everyone else. Anything to increase engagement. Whether you like it or not, it is time for some serious scholarly research. "Last year, Nielsen Research found that online games overtook personal email to become the second most heavily used internet activity behind social networks. While most museum and library professionals aren't aiming to create the next FarmVille or Angry Birds, games have the potential to be meaningful learning tools and prompt real-world action."
