Game-based Learning: x-Learn LAB Perspectives

The Learning CONSORTIUM is pleased to release x-Learn LAB Perspectives: Game-based Learning (By Kurt Squire, University of Wisconsin-Madison)

The CONSORTIUM funded the development of this Perspectives research paper to push our thinking about the future of Learning. Kurt has written a provocative and passionate paper about the current and future roles for Gaming in Learning.

Some of you will be excited about Kurt's viewpoints. Some of you will argue with Kurt's viewpoints. Some of you will want to dialogue about Kurt's viewpoints. And some of you will want to start Gaming for Learning projects in your organizations. Personally, we felt challenged and even uncomfortable with the characterization of e-Learning's current "flat" state. And that is exactly what we wanted to accomplish with the x-Learn LAB Perspectives.
