In recent years, there has been growing interest in the use of games to enhance learning across multiple educational levels, and extensive research has shown that games have considerable potential for enhancing learning, motivation and skills development. However, despite a growing acknowledgement of this potential, challenges remain and the use of games in formal education contexts remains far from mainstream. While some studies identify design and development issues as a key barrier – including associated costs – others highlight organisational and infrastructural difficulties involved in implementing games in the classroom. More recently, increasing recognition of these difficulties has led many to explore how gaming elements (rather than fully fledged games) can be used to engage and enhance student learning – a practice now widely referred to as “gamification”. This edited collection of chapters explores the application, potential and challenges of game-based learning and gamification across multiple disciplines and sectors, including psychology, education, business, history, languages and the creative arts. With contributions exploring the use of games across the full educational spectrum – from early childhood education, through to the corporate sector – it provides comprehensive insights into the potential of games and play for facilitating learning and engagement at every life stage.

It has been said that the future will never be the same again, which is undoubtedly true, as is the statement that learning will never the same again. Many of the old rules of learning are being swept away and it is increasingly realised that knowledge of “fact” is less important than understanding of situations. It is now well established that understanding can be facilitated by simulation, which is one of the principles on which games-based learning is founded. Games-based learning is also important because there is so much pressure on the teaching resources available. Demand for learning has never been greater and it is likely to continue to grow exponentially. In this environment games-based learning has come into its own. It has always been true that there has been much to learn from games. Both competitiveness and team work have traditionally be learnt on the playing fields of schools around the world. Strategic thinking has been learnt from games such as Chess, even Checkers, and in a more sophisticated way the board game Diplomacy. With the power available through ICT entirely new games are possible that have a much richer and more engaging potential for learners. This is transforming learning and opening up new avenues for both learners and those who are helping them learn. This book represents some of the leading edge thinking in this field and is highly recommended to academics and training practitioners.

Games have high presence in non-formal and informal segments of learning. Unfortunately, in formal education games are still often seen just as an unserious activity and the potentials of games for learning stay undiscovered.

Examination Thesis from the year 2011 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,0, http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Anglistik/Amerikanistik), language: English, abstract: Die Staatsexamensarbeit trägt den Titel “Exploring the Potential of Digital Game Based Learning in the EFL Classroom” und lotet das Potenzial kommerzieller Computerspiele für die Ausbildung von Fach- und Medienkompetenz im Englischunterricht aus. Im Unterschied zu bisherigen Untersuchungen werden Computerspiele dabei nicht als Unterrichtsthema sondern als Werkzeug bzw. Methode unter die Lupe genommen. Die innovative Arbeit nimmt einen neuen Blickwinkel auf das Thema ein und trägt so zu einem noch sehr jungen Forschungsfeld bei, auf welchem – vor allem in Deutschland – nur wenige Publikationen erschienen sind und welches somit nur in Ansätzen untersucht worden ist.
