Gamification Vs. Game Based Learning
The document discusses gamification versus game-based learning, explaining that gamification involves using game mechanics in non-game contexts to engage users, while game-based learning utilizes competition and storylines to motivate learners. Designing Digitally, Inc. is highlighted as a company specializing in e-learning and training simulations, with a strong reputation and several accolades. Best practices for designing effective gameful experiences include focusing on user engagement, iterative testing, and developing compelling narratives.

Editor's Notes
- #5 Game Thinking - Using a rubric from games to create interactivity and engagement Game Mechanics - The systematic forumals used to create an entertaining and equal advantage game. All games use mechanics; however, theories and styles differ as to their ultimate importance to the game.
- #6 “ The use of game attributes ,” which includes game mechanics/dynamics, game design principles, gaming psychology, player journey, game play scripts and storytelling, and/or any other aspects of games “ To drive game-like player behavior ,” such as engagement, interaction, addiction, competition, collaboration, awareness, learning, and/or any other observed player behavior during game play “ In a non-game context ,” which can be anything other than a game (e.g. education, work, health and fitness, community participation, civic engagement, volunteerism, etc.)

- #20 http://youtu.be/-pUhraVG7Ow Assassins Creed 3 – Top 10 best selling video game of 2012. Taught me more about the American Revolutionary War than any course in K-12 or Higher Education “ I suspect that gamers rarely believe that they are genuinely learning about the causes or consequences of the specific war through the games,” Sacks said, “but movie-viewers do often believe that they walk out of the theater understanding history when in fact the story has been vastly oversimplified if not outright distorted.” Now, after three years of development, AC III, the largest Assassin’s Creed game yet, allows players to explore colonial locals like New York, Boston, and the American wilderness as Connor, the half-British, half-Native American protagonist. Players will interact with historical figures like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Lee and Benedict Arnold while participating in famous events such as the Boston Tea Party, Bunker Hill and the iconic Christmas crossing of the Delaware River. “ You will visit these places in the moment that they were important, and hopefully, experience why we know where they are today.” Alex Hutchison, AC III’s creative director, told Gameinformer . “That’s the goal.” Since the game is historical fiction, the revolution is ultimately a set piece within which the continuing Assassin’s Creed story takes place, but the history is an incredibly important aspect of that narrative, one that the design team handled with great care. “ The office tagline is ‘history is our playground,’ and we take it very very seriously,” says Hutchison. “We do a lot of research; we have historical advisors on staff.” The design team put so much care into the historical aspect of the game so that it could be a means for players to experience firsthand and possibly learn about (or reinforce pre-existing knowledge), as accurately as the game’s narrative would allow, colonial life, the nuances of language, the rhetoric, the people, and the way it all ties together. “ We tried to choose moments that were familiar to people, that would resonate, and then a couple of moments that might be new to them, so that we have this balance of something where players can say, ‘oh I know about this, I’ve read about this, it’s really kind of neat to see it from this perspective.’” Corey May, AC III’s lead writer, stated in a “And then other events that may not be as familiar where they can feel like ‘oh I’m learning something new, I’m being exposed to some interesting, new historical information.” So can a game like Assassin’s Creed III really help students explore history? Is there something to be gained by being immersed in a virtual world in which one can experience and interact with the past? Timothy O’Neil, visiting professor of History here at Albion, believes that videogames can certainly have a place in education. “ I believe that video games do indeed excite students about history and encourage them to learn more–for myself, I am certain that playing Dungeons & Dragons as a teenager ultimately turned me into an academic and a historian as an adult,” said O’Neil. “If I taught US history, I would most definitely find some way to use AC III in my classes.” O’Neil cites another educationally-applicable aspect of the game: questioning. Beyond simply immersing players in the past, the Assassin’s Creed franchise is all about challenging the accepted story. These games weave a secondary narrative throughout history that certainly asks players to question the history books.
