9 reasons to replace traditional online courses with games for learning

Education | 2011. 4. 19. 01:21 | Posted by 스마트 안전보건

1. Games give lots of choices to learners.

Games are doing a really good job for providing learning with a lot of choices.

2. It is what Amazon.com would do if they had your job.

Games customize your environments based on your profile or levels you are on a game.

It is just like the customization of Amazon.com in which you are provided with customized information about books and other products you are interested in based on your profile or your purchasing experiences.

3. There are no next buttons

There are 2 reasons that learners hate next buttons. The first reason is that it forces learners to be linear for thinking. It is like do this and this and this. Secondly, next buttons overuse context with too many materials for learners to read and do.

4. Cognitive psychologists dig it

The best instruction hovers at the boundary of a learner's competency (by Andy Disessa at Berkley graduate school of education).

5. Sometimes it is good to fail

If you want to succeed, double your failure rate (by Thomas Watson, the founder of IBM).

6. Games immerse learners in context

For example, games do this. With this kind of games, learners know what to do and how to make it complete.

7. Get rid of learners once and for all

8. Games make data sexy

9. Nobody ever wanted to stay up until 2AM just to take your CBT one more time before going to bed.

스크린샷_2011-04-18_오전_9.51.35.png

Games are more fun and have surprises, collaboration, and most importantly mastery. If you master something, you would feel fun.

In other words, with games, 'Learning is the drug.' (by Raph Koster 'Theory of fun)

스크린샷_2011-04-18_오전_9.53.45.png

In short, there is no learning objective that can't be made into a great game.

But traditional online courses, there is no learning objective that can't be ruined by turning it into a 'nexter'.

I played it when I was in middle school. One of my friends got a personal computer in his home, so we went to his house after school and play it by turn. At that time, playing a video game by inserting a video game slot was the most exciting thing.

But now everything has been totally changed, we rare play traditional video games and play 3D games or mobile games in smart phones or tablets instead. A good news about traditional video games is that ATARI recently launched an App in App Store, so that people can download it and enjoy many traditional video games in their mobile devices such as iPhone or iPad.

Teaching with Games

"Children learn best when the content is relevant to them and when they can connect new learning with old," says Marcia Baldanza, principal of Patrick Henry Elementary School in Alexandria, Virginia. “Finding the Velcro to make those connections can be challenging, but with games, it's easy." Baldanza, who feels that playing games has strengthened teacher-student and student-student relationships at her school, notes that students like games because they have fun and learn at the same time, and teachers like them because games help build students’ academic confidence, as well as social and problem-solving skills.

Augmented Reality Games

Creativity | 2010. 11. 21. 08:01 | Posted by 스마트 안전보건

These AR games are for smart phone users. I found this site

while I browsing Internet for my research paper this year.

 

Best Selling Augmented Reality Games of 2009

 
 

2009 was the year AR games broke from the lab into the hands of consumers – and this post celebrates that achievement.

 

By Platform

 
Nintendo
 
Augmented Reality games have been developed for a multitude of platforms such as PC/Mac, Nokia phones, Windows Mobile phones, Android phones, PDAs with cameras, Nintendo DSi, and the Gizmondo.
 

By Genre

 

Another popular approach to group games is by genre. When it comes to AR games genres, there’s a bit more variety than platforms: this year we have seen mostly shooters, but also horror games, a treasure hunt, and even one driving game.

 

By Commercial Success

 
I would have loved to provide you with a sorted list of games by revenue. Unfortunately, this information is not yet public. My guesstimate is that the most commercially succesful AR game of 2009 was in fact released for the PSP – not the iPhone.
 
 

By Game Mechanic

 
The term “Game mechanics” is defined by game design scholars as “a construct of rules intended to produce an enjoyable game“.
 

360 Shooters

 
The top game mechanic of AR games on the iphone uses the compass and accelerometer (3GS only) to compute your orientation and overlay graphics on the iPhone screen as if the action is happening all around you in 360 degrees.
 
2) Arcade Reality
 
 
3) Mosquitoes
 
 
4) – ARGH – AR Ghost Hunter
 
 
5) Fire Fighter 360
 
 
7) Pandemica
