Online Learning Update

by Richard N. Van Eck, EDUCAUSE Review

What will DGBL look like in another ten years? Who knows? Maybe the digital game natives won’t have arrived after all. Or perhaps they will be very different from what we are expecting—just as today’s digital natives are not what we expected in 2006. Or maybe DGBL will help usher in a new era of effective (though not entirely game-based) teaching. What we do know today is that we have the evidence and the design tools to demonstrate that digital games are powerful learning tools. Whether we choose to take advantage of the opportunity before us is a completely different question.
