Games are a medium—not content.

Case 4: Disaster Configurator for the Rotterdam Port Authority

Case study: Emergency Response Training, Pjotr van Schothorst

VSTEP BV, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

The medium of gaming represents a qualitative shift in learning systems.

Games are an extension of the physical environment.

Games are an extension of the human nervous system.

The physical world is an extension of games.

This is about much, much more than fun and games. On 10.19.2006, the MacArthur Foundation announced a $50MM fund for digital learning and games.

A robust program of research and experimentation is needed to enhancedevelopment of educational games by stimulating transfer of the art andtechnologies of video games to education and learning systems.

High development costs in an uncertain market for educational innovationsmake developing complex high-production learning games too risky for videogame and educational materials industries.

Educational institutions need to transform organizational systems andinstructional practices to take greater advantage of new technology, includingeducational games.

Outcome data from large-scale evaluations of educational games are needed to demonstrate that these technologies are equal to or offer comparative advantage vs. conventional IM.

Recommendation #1: Increase emphasis on evaluating the effectiveness of new learning technologies and approaches to designing and implementing such systems. Use an adaptive learning approach that integrates real world problems, data, processes and systems; empirical research and human performance; and instructional design and delivery. The key is to integrate empirical research into the design and implementation of new modes of learning in order to inform future selection and variation of learning systems.
