Unlimited Learning Report: Video Games In Learning Released - Simon Perry, Digital Lifestyles
A new report examining the role computer and video games can play in education was released today by ELSPA (the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association), in association with the UK Department for Education and Skills'. Entitled 'Unlimited Learning: The role of computer and video games in the learning landscape' it uses a number of exclusive case studies on the benefits of games when used in learning. An example is a college in Nottinghamshire who results appear to be near unbelievable. They've seen key skills increase to a 94% success rate, compared to the national benchmark of 22%. They attribute much of this to incorporating the commercial game 'Neverwinter Nights' into its teaching plan.
