Coracle Learning styles
One size does not fit all. Which is why we consider a range of learning styles
Learning style | |
---|---|
Learning by doing | Learners make decisions that have consequences - they are actively participating |
Learning by experimenting | Learners can safely try multiple solutions, whilst discovering new information and skills |
Life-like learning situations | Virtual worlds and realistic games can provide environments that respond the same way the real world responds, allowing the learner to transfer knowledge and experience between the two |
Believing in abilities | Rewards and levels in games foster the belief you can achieve things. This generates a positive attitude towards overcoming obstacles and increases the learner’s success rate |
Clear objectives | Well-defined game goals allow players to make more progress toward learning objectives |
Learning 'without boundaries' | These environments naturally transcend barriers of language, geography, race, gender and physical abilities. Players who are self-conscious in real life because they are different have no way of being set apart online |
