Serious games / immersive simulationspractice, learn by doing, experience, challenge, problem spaces, compete, apply, perform,assess,game the skill…
![Page 20: Learning Revolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/555cb90ad8b42a64718b460e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
• Provide opportunities for meaningful (and repeat) practice – “game the skill”
• Focus on high order cognitive activity / skills rather than ‘information dissemination’
• Provide realistic, transferrable ‘virtual experience’
• Experiential, problem/task-based (adult learning theory)
• Engage and actively involve learners rather than ‘passive reception’
Why use games & simulations?
![Page 21: Learning Revolution](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062319/555cb90ad8b42a64718b460e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Basically…..
Is there a process, environment or system that can be conceptually and/or visually modelled and from which relevant and meaningful scenarios created?
When is a Serious Games appropriate?

Serious Games and sims
Serious games allow you to experience something from an alternative perspective; to feel what it might be like for someone else.

Pulling this all together…• Based around real-world scenarios, systems & processes• Task/goal-based, aligned to world of work• Focuses on high value skills building• Interactive, adapts to choices/performance, learns from user• Fosters collaboration (and competition)• Captures rich usage & performance data• Is a mix of 2D and 3D (and net-based)• Editing & sharing for all users• Tightly integrated with social networking• Fosters communities of shared interest

The ‘future’ bit…
All of this exists today….
…some of it is proven, some not so (“in Beta”)…
The real power comes when we learn how to BLEND it all together in a coherent and
appropriate way….
….it will most likely be the users that show us HOW
