- 32. Competition vs Collaboration ●Collaborative competition may be beneficial ie competing in teams ● More beneficial than competition alone -> social pressure and reduces participation ● Competition alone can, however, increase enjoyment and situational interest ● Varies for different learners ○ Prior knowledge ○ Player personality
- 34. Narratives ● Almost nodownsides to narratives/storytelling ● Human-like game character particularly leads to positive emotions ○ Enhances ownership and possession ■ The more players feel like they have customised or made things their own the more committed they are to the game ● Benefits to motivation ● Only caveat: may increase cognitive load ● Suggestion: Don’t use it to teach new content ○ Works better as formative testing
- 38. Feedback To motivate: Feedback shouldtell students about their progress as opposed to feedback that just indicates success and failure. Frequency: - Support only when necessary - Too frequent disrupts game play - Too few, students get stuck
