The Evolution of EducationalGames: A Broad Context
1970’s (Free Bird, Love Keep us Together, Night Fever)
• The DOD funds the PLATOSystem at the University ofIllinois, they develop the earliestexperimental educational gamesaround computer science issues
• Oregon Trail is developed at theUniversity of Minnesota, andbecomes one of the earliesteducational games adopted inthe classroom
• Early educational videogamesenter the home in nascent gameconsoles
1980’s (Livin’ on Prayer, When Doves Cry, Crazy Train)
• The home PC firstenters householdsdriven in large part by ahobbyist videogameproduction culture
• Seminal simulationtitles set the stage forintegrating traditionaleducational content ineffective game format
1990’s (Smells Like Teen Spirit, Vogue, Enter Sandman)
• The first “edutainment”bubble raises and bursts asbook publishers make aslew of poorly designededucational games
• The exception was Wherein the World is CarmenSandiego, whichsuccessfully enteredclassrooms, culture, andspawned a whole mediaphenomenon.
2000’s (Hey Ya!, Yellow, War Child, Small Town Vice)
• Interest in “serious games” arises in industry, education, andpublic policy.
• In Healthcare, Simulation-based learning begins to accelerate.– This gives rise to the Simulation versus Game discussion
What is the Difference betweenGames and Simulation
This is always an easy question to answerbecause when we talk about higher ordersimulation, elements of good game designalso apply to simulation-based learning…
Higher order simulation includes andintegrates behavioral components intodesigned experiences existing within
created spaces, whether those spacesexist in a fixed or virtual environment…
Designed Experiences
• A Designed Experience is engineered toinclude structured activities targeted tofacilitate interactions that drive anticipatedexperiences. These activities are created toembody participant experience asperformance.

Created Environment
• An environment that has been specificallyengineered to accurately replicate an actualexisting space. Bauman, 2007

• Addresses the rigors and challenges ofaccurately situating culture within virtualenvironments using a four-element modelthat emphasizes the importance of activities,contexts, narratives, and characters.
