Description | Winston Churchill once said: "I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught."
We have known for some time that games are an effective learning tool. The problem is that most of the games we create explicitly for learning attempt to teach rather than allow the player to learn. This talk will address 'tangential learning', the concept of exposing players to knowledge rather than actively trying to teach them. |
