Over the past few years we have been investigating the various ways simulations and serious games are being used for education and training.
David has been tracking a lot of projects and developments at Metaverse Health.
We have been working on a wide range of simulations and serious games at Oztron.
The question here is – what has worked, and what do we want to try to do in the future?
We want to create something that engages young people like modern video games – we want to take the best the entertainment industry has to offer and use it to create better learning experiences.
We want learning to be more of a natural experience, where you learn by being placed in situations where you make decisions(good or bad) and see the consequences – not simply remembering the right answers.
We want instant, tailored feedback, which ensures a deep understanding of topics before progress is recorded.
We want embedded UX design which ensures usability regardless of digital literacy.
