  5. Benefits of DGBL • Tangential learning is possible through well-designed games. • Games can support collaboration, problem-solving and communication in learning communities. • Games increase engagement as they are designed to have the appropriate balance between success and frustration in order to keep players motivated to persevere. (Flow) • Games often provide instant feedback and reward as students master activities or levels, and give students ownership and control of their own progress. • Integrating game-based learning into the the curriculum allows for increasing computer literacy skills, problem solving skills and real world applications. • Some games require systems thinking whereby students no longer look at things in terms of discrete items. • "Griffiths refers to the merits associated with using digital games with special-needs children. For example, he cites a case where video or digital games had a calming effect on a seven-year-old child with autism. Griffiths also provides research data that suggests that adolescents with attention deficit disorder may experience improvements in “grades, sociability, and organizational skills” when using educational video games" (Griffiths, 2003). • Today's generation of learners “think and process information fundamentally differently than their predecessors.” (Prensky, 2001). Game based learning gives teacher the opportunity to speak their language.

  6. Evolution of DGBL

  7. Evolution of DGBL • Game based learning has been around for generations. The evolution of GBL has moved to now include Digital game based learning (DGBL).

  8. Evolution of GBL Non-digital Digital non-collaborative Digital multi-player (MMO) Edutainment (COTS) Training/Simulation Serious Games

  9. Trends of DGBL • Development of serious games by game designers (capture the allure of recreational games but within an educational construct) • Engage learners in game design as part of the learning process

  10. Considerations • Individualized instruction • Meeting Prescribed Learning Outcomes (PLO’s) • Developing 21st Century literacy skills http://education.alberta.ca/media/6509838/pdfimage.jpg
