"Silos Support Farmers, Not the Learning Ecosystem" By Susan Meek- Serious Pl...SeriousGamesAssoc
Susan Meek speaks about "Silos Support Farmers, Not the Learning Ecosystem" at the 2012 Serious Play Conference
ABSTRACT:
In order to fully exploit technology’s potential in the new learning ecosystem, the creation of serious games and simulations must take into account the need to embrace a holistic strategy. When creating serious games and simulations to deliver and support curriculum, it is important to remember that the game or simulation’s ability to plug into a closed-loop instructional system will impact its chances of being adopted by the instructor. Technology tools, which seamlessly integrate into a continuous instructional feedback loop, will be able to capitalize on the true power of technology and will fuel the new learning ecosystem by inspiring and empowering students and teachers.
