Game-Based Learning &
Serious Games

Motivation is the key to learning. Before you can learn you have to want to learn. Enspire's design approach focuses on motivational strategies. Game-based learning is an approach used for younger audiences who have been raised on interactive media and for audiences with a taste for competition. Game-based learning and serious games couple game design strategies with effective adult-learner-focused instructional design to create uniquely effective learning experiences.

Enspire Learning has incorporated game-based learning experiences into its courses since its inception.

Game or Simulation?

Game-based learning has much in common with simulations—learners are active participants in the learning event, and simulations, too, often have a dimension of competition. One primary difference between a simulation and a game is that a game doesn't necessarily model a real-world application of the content. For instance, a game-based learning activity could use a virtual game-show format that promotes retention of factual knowledge, but doesn't reflect the real-world context of that knowledge.
