The Federation of American Scientists recently released a report recommending that the federal government provide funding to create more educational video games. They say that video games teach higher-level, complex thinking skills that are important to today's workplaces, and that these skills will give American students an edge in the job market over foreign competition. Recommendations include asking educators and researchers to develop research studies to evaluate learning in games.
The MacArthur Foundation recently announced they are investing $50 million to investigate whether digital media promote learning.
Since the early 1990’s, Morphonix, has been conducting research to determine whether children’s interest and knowledge about the brain improves after playing our games. On March 25th we begin a month long research study to evaluate Neuromatrix, our most recent game. Stay tuned for more.
Morphonix is creating a new generation of immersive learning games- cool enough to play at home smart enough to play at school. |
