- 71. 4. State how Learning can be Achieved through Gaming • Now the kids who grew up playing these games make up the bulk of the massive gamers (MMOG).
- 72. 4. State how Learning can be Achieved through Gaming • Gaming has become a part of life with it being available in the mobile phone, iPod, Mp3 player, laptop, television.
- 73. 4. State how Learning can be Achieved through Gaming • With MMOGs the experience can be shared with hundreds to millions of gamers all over the world.
- 74. 4. State how Learning can be Achieved through Gaming FACT • Coventry University (CU) in United Kingdom spent 7 million pounds on serious gaming. • The games are focused on education, training and simulations, NOT entertainment. • The University's Serious Games Institute (SGI) is the first of its kind in the UK and an international centre of excellence for serious games. • Collaborate with Cisco and Giunti Labs and the Serious Gaming Institute to build a ‘smart campus’ by 2010 to blend mobile learning and virtual world learning.
- 75. 4. State how Learning can be Achieved through Gaming • MacArthur Foundation in the US invested 50 million, 5-year effort called Digital Media and Learning Initiative which later was streamed into Second Life. • It is committed to new media for learning and their awareness of how people learn now has shifted.

- 77. 5. The Challenges to Implement Alternative Reality Learning in a Classroom
- 78. 5. The Challenges to Implement Alternative Reality Learning in a Classroom • Limited access from lack of computers and software to lack of sufficient internet access and bandwidth, to challenges posed by language barriers and lack of literacy.
- 79. 5. The Challenges to Implement Alternative Reality Learning in a Classroom • Educators are still highly skeptical and reluctant to explore virtual reality as a tool for learning as game cannot be taken seriously.
- 80. 5. The Challenges to Implement Alternative Reality Learning in a Classroom • The virtual world may be too complex for learners.
- 81. 5. The Challenges to Implement Alternative Reality Learning in a Classroom • Costly to build a quality simulation game.
- 82. 5. The Challenges to Implement Alternative Reality Learning in a Classroom • Encourage social networking with peers and instructor. It is important to note that in the virtual world, for the education to be elevated, rich conversations between students and instructors need to occur around that content.
- 83. 5. The Challenges to Implement Alternative Reality Learning in a Classroom • To overcome the resistance, and skepticism among educators, to use virtual world as a tool for learning, the learning institute (e.g. Georgia State University) provides support e.g. got to special island in Second Life to get special support.
- 84. 5. The Challenges to Implement Alternative Reality Learning in a Classroom • The virtual world may be too complex for learners and instructors. Therefore learners and instructors should be given sufficient time for training before class commence.
- 85. 5. The Challenges to Implement Alternative Reality Learning in a Classroom • To overcome the mentality that “Games cannot be taken seriously“ educators need to conduct conferences, institutions and forums on “Serious Gaming” to promote learning possibilities as a result of playing games.
- 86. OPENER # 8: ALTERNATIve REALITY LEARNING We have learned that virtual world: Is an immersive experiential learning which takes learners to a deeper richer place. It engages and retain learner’s attention. Promises more excitement as learners are able to do things in the virtual world, just like the real world. This is great for simulations and role-playing types of learning. Continues to push the envelop as to what is possible. We do not need to be in a classroom to learn, we can be anywhere we want to be and still learning.
