A Comprehensive Framework For Student Motivation A Comprehensive Framework For Student Motivation by Terry Heick When researching student motivation and gamification late last year, I came across the most comprehensive gamification framework I’ve ever seen.

Videogiochi e simulazione: studiare sistemi complessi con rivolte, zombie, smart city Se io volessi imparare di più da fenomeni catastrofici come distruzioni, infezioni, epidemie e tutto quanto, cosa dovrei fare? Ovviamente aspettare che queste cose si verifichino è escluso: alcune sono fantasione (distruzioni globali) altre poco auspicabili (epidemie). Il modo migliore per testare un sistema complesso e le sue capacità di adattamento sono le simulazioni.Cosa sono le simulazioni? Le simulazioni sono una tecnica di ricerca piuttosto recente – in uso dagli anni ’60 – il cui scopo è quello di riprodurre un sistema complesso all’interno di un computer e vederne gli effetti manipolando le variabili qua e la.
