How serious should we be about serious games in online learning?

By Tony Bates. Serious games are games designed for a purpose beyond pure entertainment. They use the motivation levers of game design – such as competition, curiosity, collaboration, individual challenge – and game media, including board games through physical representation or video games, through avatars and 3D immersion, to enhance the motivation of participants to engage in complex or boring tasks. Serious games are therefore used in a variety of professional situations such as education, training, assessment, recruitment, knowledge management, innovation and scientific research. More...

Manifesto idea #25: Ryan Shorthouse (@RyanShorthouse @WeAreBrightBlue)

Decision makers and opinion formers should stop wasting time advocating the abolition or reduction of tuition fees. It is ignorant and lazy policymaking. Instead, to further boost participation of those from less advantaged backgrounds, they now need to focus earlier on in people’s lives. More...

The Office for Students needs to fully link this data in one place. More...
