10 Things We Know about Games for Learning From Research

• An instructional game will only be effective if it is designed to meet specific instructional objectives and was designed as it was intended.

• Games don’t have to be considered “entertaining” to be instructional.• Simulation/

games build more confidence for on the job application of learned knowledge than classroom instruction

• An experience as an avatar can change a person's real life perceptions.• While playing a game, learners will voluntarily do harder problems and work.• Instruction with serious games yields higher learning gains than conventional instr

uction.• Games are more effective than traditional instruction when players work in groups• Games are more effective than traditional instruction when multiple sessions are

involved. • Games Must be Embedded into the Curriculum to be Effective for Learning. • Games can influence people to behave in a pro-social manner.

A Theory of Fun

“Fun in games arises out of mastery. It arises out of comprehension. It is the act of solving puzzles that makes games fun. With games, learning is the drug.”
