Games and Storytelling
Stories and Narrative are a recurring theme in Serious Games design. Having served humanity as learning devices across the millenia, how can Serious Games use story and narrative to engage learners and improve learning (see Simulators that Run on Minds). I came across a great link that descirbes how video games cna be used to tell stories in new ways “Narrative Evolved” – link via the Design 4 Learning blog. Enjoy.
This video is great. I used it at the ELN Summer Showcase and it got a great response. I’ll be using this during my workshops with Game design students this year to get them to think about the mass of game employment opps there are for them!
