Play to Learn, Learn to Play! How and Why Game-Based Learning Works
Description: This workshop will address the ins and outs of game-based learning, including: the characteristics of effective games, the features of games that make them useful learning tools and the best ways to use games in your classroom. Attendees will learn how games cater to active learning experiences; how they safely encourage experimentation, trial and error, and independent learning; how they contribute to personalized learning; and how to use games to increase engagement for students. The workshop will include hands-on gameplay, walkthroughs of games and a breakdown of learning game design. Also included will be a discussion of places to find quality games and strategies to evaluate the best games for your curriculum. The goal of the workshop is to educate participants on important features of game-based learning to make it easier to find, evaluate and utilize games in your teaching.

Engaging Kids in Learning: game based learning and gamification in education Pierre Le Lann
Talk at Digital Kids Edu about engaging kids in learning using various forms of games: open ended play, game based learning and gamification
By Pierre Le Lann Co General Manager and Co founder, Tribal Nova, a Houghton Mifflin Harcourt company
What are the benefits and risks of playing computer, console and mobile games? What is "computer game addiction"? What every gamer needs to know about healthy habits? What can serious/competitive gamers do outside of the game to enhance their performance in it? What should health-care and education professionals teach to families about digital games and health?

Games, Interactivity and Gamification for Learning Karl Kapp
Gamification gets a lot of ink, but do you know what the research says? Kapp walks you through the latest research into why game-based thinking and mechanics make for vigorous learning tools. He’ll dissect critical elements of games and describe how to apply them to design and development. You’ll learn to create engaging learning using game-based thinking, find out how to move beyond theoretical considerations, and be introduced to three methods for designing interactive game-based learning.
Gamification Research: What the Numbers RevealKarl Kapp
Gamification is a hot topic, but where is the research to back up the use of gamification? Anyone interested in gamification for learning will be interested in seeing empirical results to be better informed about whether or not gamification is appropriate for their learning environment.
In this Slideshow, we look at material prepared for submission to a peer-reviewed journal, highlighting correlational results, retention, and memorization data, as well as usage data related to the gamification platform of Axonify.
These slides show correlation research related to gamification and highlights empirical results, linking gamification actions to retention and learning results. Data extracted from a database of over 250,000 users of a gamified platform is examined.
-How gamification impacts learner engagement
-How gamification provides learning retention results
-Correlations between learner engagement in a gamification platform and on-the-job performance
-How gamification statistics confirm the use of gamification for learning

Games are powerful tools for crafting learning solutions that engage, motivate and reinforce key skills and techniques. Instructional designers, training managers and anyone tasked with creating learning events needs to seriously consider implementing games into their learning toolkit.
-Examine the required tradeoffs, discover how to add the game elements of challenge and story to training events and learn how the combination of fantasy and branching story techniques leads to real learning outcomes.
-Learn how an underlying competency model can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the learners’ game play by providing feedback to improve their performance in the field.
-Examine the games elements that are so compelling for learning and engagementLearn how to think like a game designer when approaching your learning content
-Discover the link between game elements and specific learning outcomes
During the past year, there has been much discussion about learning gamification and game- based learning. Is all of the hoopla just a passing fancy, or is there substance to games as a learning strategy?
In this session, Dr. Karl Kapp and Bryan Austin will summarize the research supporting learning games. They will differentiate between learning gamification and game-based learning, share the rationale for leveraging games to increase engagement, and provide the business rationale used by organizations to implement game-based corporate learning. Finally, this session will outline research under way to benchmark the performance impact of game-based e-learning versus other modes of training.
At the end of this session, attendees will have a clear idea of where learning games fit in their training strategy and their potential value in improving workforce performance.
Learning objectives
Evaluate training techniques, i.e. game-based learning.
Develop, select and implement employee training programs to increase individual and organizational effectiveness.
Evaluate the effectiveness of employee training programs through the use of metrics.
Develop and utilize business metrics to measure the achievement of the organization’s strategic and performance goals and objectives.
Develop qualitative and quantitative methods and tools for analysis, interpretation and decision-making purposes.

"Everything I need to know I learnt from World of Warcraft": why we might need to start asking better questions about games, simulations and virtual worlds
Like many areas of educational technology research, a lot of the work that focuses on games, simulations and virtual worlds consists of case studies that demonstrate proof of concept, enthusiastic position pieces or success stories. All of this is important: we need to know what sort of things we can use these technologies to do, so as to build a broader repertoire of teaching practices. However, this kind of focus neglects a range of other questions and issues that may prove more important in the longer term.
For example, educational research about games typically emphasises the way that playing motivates players; it ignores how successful games (such as massively multiplayer online games) often feel like work, and it also glosses over the way that bringing a game inside the curriculum changes the way that 'players' relate to it. There are also inconsistencies in the way games are thought about: the idea that they cause violence is often criticised as over-simplistic, yet the idea that they cause learning isn't. In virtual worlds, opportunities to create new identities is widespread, but questions about how this relates to our embodied relationships are rarely asked. In simulations, 'realism' is celebrated - but this means that simulations will always be second best to actual experiences, and it ignores how groups can disagree about whether something is realistic or not. Across this work, the complexity of learning and teaching seems hidden by the desire to promote the value of these technologies.
This talk will offer some examples of work that, in small ways, try to engage with these kinds of issue. Different priorities will be suggested, which invite a new kind of engagement with research and practice in this area.
The value of video-game learning cannot be underestimated in the classroom. This gives you an overview of game-principles that can be learned in the classroom.
