Innovate - Places to Go: Apolyton

Innovate - Places to Go: Apolyton

What sites like Apolyton suggest, however, is that instead of embedding a game into learning, it is possible to embed learning into a game.

What Downes is writing about here is pure, plain and simple cooptation.  Coopt the game paradigm to learn.  Internally motivate and adapt existing gaming frameworks.  That’s how you get around the “educational” and exogenous nature of most games created to teach.
