Game based learning (GBL) is a branch of serious games that deals with applications that have defined learning outcomes. Generally they are designed to balance the subject matter with the gameplay and the ability of the player to retain and apply said subject matter to the real world.
Famous quotes containing the words game, based and/or learning:
“One of life’s primal situations; the game of hide and seek. Oh, the delicious thrill of hiding while the others come looking for you, the delicious terror of being discovered, but what panic when, after a long search, the others abandon you! You mustn’t hide too well. You mustn’t be too good at the game. The player must never be bigger than the game itself.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Whoever invented the meeting must have had Hollywood in mind. I think they should consider giving Oscars for meetings: Best Meeting of the Year, Best Supporting Meeting, Best Meeting Based on Material from Another Meeting.”
—William Goldman (b. 1931)
“With just enough of learning to misquote.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
