yes

I am in my UOC account and I can't get in either!

something that is fun and entertaining

Same as Matt!

Games make learning meaningful and fun!

playing - can be imaginative or involve competition

Dynamic and require interaction

Playing a role

funny interaction

Following shared rules

form of escape

play motivates as it makes you forget yourself

Same here. I don't have access

it helps you to ad lib

but that's very subjective!

the penalty is not part of the game

makes learning memorable

you learn to use strategy and to think ahead

making learning a game can increase fun, motivation and make it more memorable

Take the anxiety/embarrassment out of learning

may get you into flow state which could optimise your learning

If we are engaged it becomes meaningful so we might learn

Complexity is key to keep students motivated (ZPD)

Games make learning meaningful and effective when it is done with a purpose

We can remember things better if we associate it with another context i.e a game

overcome challenges = new skills

games helps you focus on the process of doing something as much as with the goal (of wining)

they lower anxiety levels in terms of communication

creates personal links between learners

students may also continue to work with the material for more time

Games are generally thought of as something we do together, whereas when we think of asynchronicity we often picture ourselves alone?

It's hard to think of games that can be played asynchronously!!

some games lend themselves to asynchronous environment because they involve turn-taking e.g. scrabble

challenge: if games need to be more or less quickly, how to make games engaging if they're asynchronous?

Asynchronous games allow participants to reflect and have more time

It makes me imagine a long distance chess match that newspapers used to have

I could envision a 'tag' game where students can pick up where the previous student finished

the difficulty here is that if we characterize games as never being played on your own, we have a serious problem, but there are games that are played on your own, many video games for example, and so this changes this issue

the time factor is very important to sustain the game

but what about games you play on your own?

may gamers with play synchronously and also on their own...also on your phone? Who plays candy Crash?

You can use vassal to play simulation gmes like wargames
