Summary
Game-based learning is built on the idea of teaching through repetition, failure, and goal achievement which incorporates game features and concepts into the learning activities themselves.
Students learning Economics, for example, can compete in a virtual stock-trading competition; difficult science concepts can also be made easier to understand using several games.
Textbooks are designed to be used for years, it takes a long time for the curriculum to be revised, on the other hand, Game-based learning is designed to be adaptable from the start and can be updated during the creation process to make it a more efficient learning tool.
Student-monitoring tools are included in certain games, allowing teachers to keep an eye on their students so that the game may be updated in future versions which are not possible in textbook learning.
Addiction: The basic nature of game-based learning is to hold onto users for a long time so that they don't get bored and come back later, which can be addictive to many students and may deviate them from other learning activities.
Technical know-how: Implementation of Game-based learning, requires a technological learning curve in which teachers must be adapted and made used to technology.
Game-based Learning is about influencing students' attitudes toward learning and the idea is for students to appreciate the learning experience as a whole.
