It wasn’t the game, it was level of activity in the game.
In other words, the engagement of the learner in the game leads
to learning.

Instructional games should be embedded in instructional programs that include debriefing and feedback.
Instructional support to help learners understand how to use the game increases instructional effectiveness of the gaming experience.

Recommendations
1) The context of the learning environment is important.2) Simulation/games don’t need to be “entertaining” to be instructional.3) Carefully craft the simulation/game to provide opportunities to increase
learning (engagement and interactivity).

Why be a Character at All?
Research indicates that human social models influence behavior,
beliefs and attitudes.

Avatar as Teacher
Research indicates that learners perceive, interact socially with and are influenced by anthropomorphic
agents (avatars) even when their functionality and adaptability are limited.

An experience as an avatar can change a person's real life perceptions. In a study conducted by Yee and Bailenson (2006), it was found that negative stereotyping of the elderly was significantly reduced when participants were placed in avatars of old people compared with those participants placed in avatars of young people.

Within 24 hours of watching an avatar like themselves run, learners were more likely to run than watching an avatar not like them or
watching an avatar like them loitering .

If learners watch an avatar that looks like them exercising & losing weight,
they will subsequently exercise more in the real world as compared to a control
group.

Recommendations
1) Avatars can effectively model behavior for both learners and instructors.2) Avatars that look like learners are more influential on the learners.3) Two avatars are better than one provided they are stratified in their usage
(one as knowledge, one as coaching)4) Third-person perspective is more powerful for learning than first person.

Provide a challenge

Re-design the Instruction to Start with a Challenge

Researchers have found that the human brain has a natural affinity for
narrative construction.
Yep, People tend to remember facts more accurately if they encounter
them in a story rather than in a list.
And they rate legal arguments as more convincing when built into narrative tales rather than on legal precedent.

Challenge and Consolidation– Good games offer players a setof challenging problems and then let them solve these problemsuntil they have virtually routinized or automated their solutions.
Games then throw a new class of problem at the players requiringthem to rethink their now, taken-for-granted mastery, learnsomething new, and integrate this new learning into their old mastery.

Recommendations
1) Use stories and provide challenges in the beginning of the learning process.
2) Use stories that are related to the context of the desired learning outcome.

Scaffolding: Process of controlling the task elements that initially are beyond the learner’s
capacity.
Guided Practice. Step-by-step instructions and then fading of instruction

Once that task is accomplished, the learner is then led to accomplish another goal which
builds upon the previous.

Recommendations
1) Provide different entry points into the instruction.2) Provide different learner experiences within the same
e-learning module.3) Consider “leveling up” learner challenges.

Games like The Sims provide feedback on many dimensions which provide
opportunities to consider tradeoffs and higher level cognitive thinking.

Learners journey through a series of activities designed
to synthesize conceptual learning.
