Critique Of Serious Games-Sanford
#notesFromPaper Year : Tags : Authors: Sanford Starr Merkel Kurki
- All games can include learning, the binary is not useful.
- Serious games often simplify issues in an unquestioning way.
- This can lead to the trivialization of important issues.
- Students were quick to critique the game design, they talked about it before even talking about the social issues of the game.
- argues (with not as much evidence as I’d like), that learning happens over long periods of time, and that short games may not be as effective.
- Realism is a complex topic, and it’s unclear what makes someone feel like a game is realistic or not. (maybe reread this section.)
- Players don't read
