provoking reflection through Artistic Games

2004

Abstract

An important, indeed often essential, feature of games is that they enable players to experience extraordinary situations beyond those that are safe or even possible in everyday life. Not only can this be entertaining, but it also provides opportunities for learning. This learning may involve acquiring and rehearsing skills in the game that may ultimately transfer to the real world. However, other forms of learning are also possible.
