The problems and opportunities of games in education

Post by Bappy11 »

Get game designers into your project
Games should be about fun and game designers are ideally suited to design fun into the basic experience. He is very explicit: his company will never design a Farmville for Pepsi. He would sit down with such a brand to see what experience they want to offer. Game designers can then convert such an experience into a game. Barnes thinks Nike's fuel band is a successful example of a game experience around a brand. That is also a game in principle, but no one talks about it as a game. It is also designed with the athletes in mind, with the question: how can we make the individual athlete better?

Barnes sees a lot of added value from the two game designers employed by his marketing company. They can also offer a lot of added value in non-game related projects when designing fun in an experience or service.

In education, Barnes sees the necessary problems with the use of games, "because the education market does not understand why children do not listen and learn". He sees this as a major problem that cannot be solved by making a oman telegram data game that is simply used in education. Barnes does see opportunities to increase the involvement of children in the lesson material, such as playing the game Medal of Honor around a history lesson about the landing in Normandy in World War II.

The challenges of m-Health
After the session about games, there will be another panel about m-Health: from lifestyle to lifesaver. Next to host Ronald Olsthoorn and Lucas Tieleman, guests Sabine Wildevuur of Waag Society and Jorn van der Ent , who is involved in fundraising for the National Epilepsy Fund, will join us.
