Learning Games: Three Approaches to Designing Games for Learners [This chapter explores three main approaches related to the instructional design of learning games. We first examine the common method of taking an existing, non-educational game and wrapping educational activities around it, followed by another technique that takes boring content and wraps a game narrative around it. We conclude with the authors’ own method of building learning games using a bottom-up approach that blends instructional design and merges it with media, learning, and the motivational commonly found in games.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter explores three main approaches related to the instructional design of learning games. We first examine the common method of taking an existing, non-educational game and wrapping educational activities around it, followed by another technique that takes boring content and wraps a game narrative around it. We conclude with the authors’ own method of building learning games using a bottom-up approach that blends instructional design and merges it with media, learning, and the motivational commonly found in games.]
