In this video Ollie explains the mechanisms that make games powerful learning facilitators; for instance, we learn with games because they are competitive, non-threatening and they allow us to build-up relationships with gaming environments and also gaming characters.
The trick of course is if we can use this gaming technology combined with good pedagogy
then we start to create really interesting and stimulating environments.
There is also the common language. Technology has become a common interest and helps
break down barriers between different groups of people, in different cultures, in different time
zones.
Ollie is saying that it's not just about playing computer games and it's not just about making computer
games. It's really about using computer games and making sure that we use them in the
right way to make sure that we create these interesting and stimulating learning
environments.
