Games have become a major industry, with $25.1 billion in consumer spending in 2010 alone in the US. Research has shown that games can improve visual acuity, attention, help learn history and geography, increase mood and decrease stress, and increase calorie expenditure. Games are designed with goals, feedback, and opportunities to apply learning in new situations, aligning with contemporary learning theory. Learning theory and game design may enhance each other in the future.

- 1. Games and Learning Course: Digital Media Innovation and Social Transformation Fall 2014 Presentation: Hanna Suviha
- 2. 2 Introduction • In 2010 in America alone, total consumer spending on the games industry in totaled $25.1 billion (Siwek, 2010) • Youth ages 8 to 18 year olds consume about 10.45 hours per day of media compressed into 7.38 hours per day thanks to multitasking (Rideout, Foehr, & Roberts, 2010)
- 3. 3 Impact of Games • improve visual acuity & attention (Green, Pouget, & Bavelier, 2010) • historical simulations aid systems understanding in world history & geography (Squire & Barab, 2004) • increase mood and decrease stress (Russoniello, O’Brien, & Parks, 2009) • exergames are shown to increase calorie expenditure and decrease sedentary lifestyles for children (Graf, Pratt, Hester, Short, 2009)
- 4. 4 • videogames are addictive to the extent that games have, and their interactivity and design principles are at the core of their appeal; • commercial games oftentimes exemplify good pedagogy; • games afford opportunities for learning assessment that are quite rich, ranging from learning analytics applied to a given game title's data exhaust to connected ethnographies that trace student trajectories of learning from within the game to the online game fandom community to participation structures in the in the home or classroom and back again.
- 5. Contemporary learning theory People primarly think and learn through experiences they have had. People store these experiences in memory and use them to run simulations in their minds to prepare for problem solving in new situations. These simulations help them to form hypotheses about how to proceed in the new situation based on past experiences.
- 6. Conditions experiences need to meet: 1) experiences are most useful for future problem solving if the experience is structured by specific goals; 2) they have to be interpreted. Interpreting experience means thinking—in action and after action—about how our goals relate to our reasoning in the situation; 3) people need to get immediate feedback during those experiences so that they can recognize their errors and see where their expectations have failed; 4) learners need opportunities to apply their previous experiences to similar new situations; 5) learners need to learn from the interpreted experiences and explanations of other people, including both peers and more expert people. Social interaction, discussion, and sharing with peers, as well as mentoring from others who are more advanced, are important.
- 7. 7 Game Design • designed to set up certain goals for players • level design allows players to get lots of practice applying what they have learned • feedback is given moment by moment
- 9. Customization Good games allow you to solve problems in different ways. Good games invite you to try a new style.
- 10. Identity
- 11. Manipulation
- 14. The Cycle of Expertise
- 17. Sandboxes
- 20. Meaning as Action Principle (Situated Meaning)
- 21. Conclusion Message The language of learning is one important way in which to talk about video games, and video games are one important way in which to talk about learning. Learning theory and game design may, in the future, enhance each other.
