game = simulation+ personally challenging task
or
game= test + immediate feedback - recorded score
How are games, tests and simulations related ?

Assist when needed. Design the game so learners can begin with little preparation and countinue learning about the game by playing it.
When they stuck what you can do ?

If game sounds frivolous , call it a simulation.
If simulation sounds too stuffy or expensive , call it a game.
Do you call it a game or simulation ?

Asking questions like '' What is the goal ? - What roles do learners play?- How do learners get started ?
What is explaining the game clearly ?

The safari structure gives the learner more leeway to err and to succeed than the short-leash strategy. In the safari structure learners can stray from the main path.

A smooth learning curve is good, but a bumby curve may be better. Learning improves if we alternate hard and easy activities.
What is controlling the ryhthm of difficulty ?

In the short-leash strategy learners are not allowed to stray far from the successful path.
