CBLE Blog week 5
Game Based Learning This week we were looking at games-based learning, educational games and gamification. These are all theories and concepts to try and help students engage with learning more successfully than traditional class room methods. These all work on the idea that learning should be fun, because it doesn’t feel like learning if you’re having fun.
This can be effective as most students would prefer to be playing games, sports or video games instead of listening to a lecturer.
The term gamification is a learning method that aims to motivate students by using video game design and gameplay elements in a learning or classroom environment. The goal is to get the learners to engage fully by capturing the interest of the students and to inspire them to learn more under their own steam. Game Based Learning (GBL) is a teaching method that uses a well-designed game instead of a standard quiz format to provide an immersive experience for students.
The use of things like novels, films, plays, video games and other media games can be high-quality materials a teacher uses to enable students to access the curriculum, as well as the use of games to make learning fun. This can in turn, liven up a potentially dull class with unmotivated students and then encourages them to continue learning the subject matter outside of the class room.
This can be used to encourage competition between students, or by challenging them as individual, in order to promote better learning.

Educational games can be card or board games or even video games. These are designed and created to help people learn about a specialist subject and can work in a number of ways. For example, they can be used to explore and understand historical events or cultures, expand concepts or assist them in learning a new skill e.g. a flight or driving simulator used in learning to acquire a licence. The links I have acquired will be uploaded to the group wiki.
