Summary
Gamification v Game-Based Learning When choosing the best games for your Gameschooling experience, it is important to note the difference between Gamification and Game-Based Learning.
Game-Based Learning uses game elements to teach a specific skill or encourage a specific learning outcome.
You can start by looking at specific games that include syllabus or core learning concepts as a way of including game-based learning.
Does Every Game Need to Fit the Syllabus? Game-based learning does not mean you can only play games that fit the syllabus perfectly.
While there are games out there designed specifically to certain syllabus points, there are equally as many games with more subtle applications to the learning experience.
The Gameschooling element comes from the student applying their knowledge and understanding to the game rather than learning directly from the game.
