Learning in a Virtual World
Duke Inside - April 9, 2010
 |
First person video games have been all the rage for years, with better and more sophisticated graphics making on-screen movements increasingly life-like. This winter’s blockbuster film “Avatar” was a science-fiction tale of characters who controlled representations of themselves to maneuver on another planet. Jeff Taekman, M.D., assistant dean of education technology, envisions another, more useful application for video game simulation... MORE

Thanks to the 1999 satire Office Space, the image of the idle worker futzing around with Tetris while casually brushing off the boss has become an HR cliché. But strangely enough, a growing number of researchers and technology experts are finding that a new genre of work-related video games can actually increase productivity. Moreover, video game consoles such as the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 may be tomorrow’s most effective tools for management training. MORE |
