Title: Blending chocolate, broccoli and skeletons: Harnessing intrinsic motivation in game-based learning
\nSpeaker: Dr Jacob Habgood<\/a> (Software & Games Development, SHU)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite decades of research in the field of game-based learning, commercial approaches to educational game design in 2015 are often no more progressive than those used on consumer audiences in the 1980s. This is characterised by a superficial, \u201cchocolate-covered broccoli\u201d approach to educational game design, in which the learning content is very loosely coupled with the game. This talk will use the example of the Zombie Division<\/a><\/em> project to explain an alternative design approach in which a game\u2019s learning content is closely integrated with its game-mechanics.<\/p>\n

The results of several studies will be presented which provide empirical evidence that suggests there are both educational and motivational benefits to using a more integrated approach. The talk will conclude with a sneak peak of the Outnumb3r3d<\/a><\/em> project which applies this integrated design approach to an \u201ceducational\u201d game for the PlayStation 4.<\/p>\n

(Talk originally presented at the School of Education\u2019s Digital Education series of talks at Edinburgh University, November 2015).<\/p>\n
