Networked Learning Design - Occasional rants - I was wrong: games ARE an alternative vision.

"games are an utterly different vision of learning, separated from e-learning by a huge and uncrossable chasm"

    • E-learning designers believe that people learn through "content". They assume that encountering content will lead people to change their behaviour. Games designers believe that people learn through "experience". They assume that having experiences - doing and feeling things - leads to change in behaviour.
    • E-learning designers believe we must be "nice" to our learners in case they go away. They assume that the relationship between the course and the learner is a weak one so that if there's any significant challenge, the learner will give up. Games designers believe that we can challenge people and they'll stick with it. Indeed, it is progressive challenges that form much of the motivation for gamers.
    • E-learning designers believe that we learn step by step (hence linearity, page-turning etc.). Game designers believe we absorb lots of things all at once (hence HUDs, complex information screens etc.).
    • E-learning designers believe that learning experiences are emotionally neutral (in spite of all that's written about the importance of emotion in learning). Games designers always seek an "angle", an attitude.

oer ecology

  • The more people I talk to, the more convinced I am that OER has failed to establish a digestible value proposition for formal education.
  • That gives us a golden ratio of OER that looks something like:


    change in performance (as standard deviation) : change in money spent on curriculum (as percentage)
