DESCRIPTION

Presented at CNIE, 2012, Canmore AB, May 2012 This is a concept I devised some years ago. It provides a name for a very common phenomenon: the mistaken belief that something that looks good IS good. Educators fall into this trap ALL THE TIME when looking at online media but especially digital games. It is also a BIG problem for organizations that fund the design and development of serious games - often times, they never bother to look beyond the still images.
