What I learn from my first experience as a bully and other things we can learn from video games to improve engagement in education and social experiences.
My experience as a bully… • There is a reward for the bully. • This rewards exists in his head, but is usually provided by the social context. • The negative consequences for bullying are not enough to compensate the benefits. • They may even add to its benefits. • It has little to do with the one being bullied. • It is not personal for the bully.
Where does learning take place:in the classroom, in the field or in the brain?
The Incomplete User Experience • The way a 5year old plays Wii Sports and the way older kids and grown-ups do. • Barely moving vs. full sports motion not required by the game. • Telling the story of the battle of Gettysburg or showing a lame video about it? • Imagining the smell of powder, sweat of horses, the face of fear vs. a poor video production or animated media presentation.
The Incomplete User Experience • We experience games, movies in our minds. • Engaging learning or enjoyable experiences take place only when we provided an incomplete experience that others completes within their minds.
Making Education Fun or Addictive? • We’ve been looking at the wrong places in our quest to improve the learning experiencing from video games. • It’s not about making education fun… • It’s about making it an addictive experience.
The Addictive Video Game Experience • Increasingly Challenging. • Progressive solution of challenges. • Alternative approaches. • Progressive development. • Skills development. • Unlocking strengths. • Collecting elements. • Staged solutions. • Response to actions. • Immediate and progressive. • Strict fairness. • Recover from losses. • Uncertainty. • Multiple scores, rewards and evaluation.
