FOR LEARNING
MICRO WORLD
100
Learners watch passively Learning results from clear explanation Useful for selling and informing customers
What are the characteristics of a demostration?
100
sketch out the user interface write the words specify the graphical style specify other media
Which details do we must specify?
100
Show consequences not normally visible. Let learners make mistakes without suffering permanent consequences. Encourage learners to pause, reflect, and revise Provide a laboratory Simplify complex situations Give opportunities for abundant practice and feedback. Reawaken learning by play
What can games do for us?
100
Create Decide Do Know Believe Feel
What are the types of the objectives?
100
characters objects locations relationships laws of math, physics, and nature other dynamics
What are the characterist that we need to specify?
200
Learners decide and act. LEarning results from practice and authentic feedback.
What are the characteristics of true simulation which differing of demostration?
200
Hook the learner Ask learners to suspend disbelief Set the context Provide real-world prompting and support Present solvable problems Adapt to the learner's needs
How we engage learners?
200
Costs of failure are high Learning with real systems is not practical Learners need individual attention MAny people must be educated Tasks are complex and time is short Skills to be taught are subtle and complex You have time and budget to see the project through
When to use games?
200
Branching scenario Task simulation Personal-response simulation Environmental simulation
Which type of games are better with decide objective?
200
role name observable characteristics
What is important of the characters?
300
Can be used for several different purposes. Pairing it with the challenge to perform a task meaningful to the learner turns it into a game.
What is a simulation?
300
Let learners try multiple strategies PRogram variety into the game Involve the learner
Which are the limits?
300
Quiz-show games Word games Jigsaw puzzles Branching scenarios Task simulations Personal-response simulations Environmental simulations Immersive role-playing games
What are the types of learning games?
300
Jigsaw puzzle Task simulation
Which type of games are better with do objective?
300
starting point ending point learner's role path from start to end
which parts have to have a storyline?
400
game= simulation + personally challenging task game= test + immediate feedback - recorded score
How are games, tests, and simulations related?
400
provide intrinsic feedback inject educational feedback where needed provide continual feedback Give crucial feedback immediately Confront bad behavior and choices
Howis useful the feedback?
400
For testing factual knowledge, provided answers are clearly right or wrong.
For what are good quiz-show games?
400
Quiz-show game word puzzles jigsaw puzzle
Which type of games are better with know objective?
400
yes
Is it necessary to create a back story?
500
If game sounds frivolous, call it a simulation. If simulation sounds too stuffy or expensive, call it a game.
What is the difference between the terms learning game and learning simulation?
500
Challenge learners Ratchet up the challenge Give closure between phases Control the rhythm of difficulty Require consolidating small steps
Which can be the progressively challenge to the learners?
500
To test knowledge of terms.
For what is good word games?รง
500
Jigsaw puzzle Environmental simulation Immerse role-playing game
Which type of games are better with create objective?
500
To make clear the situation in which the learner must act.
Why is necessary to assign the learner's role?
