Shame researcher, Brené Brown . . . presented compelling research regarding the “Power of Vulnerability” as the antidote to a culture of shame in the fourth highest viewed TED talk of all time.  F.A.I.L. University builds “shame resilience” through game-based learning that reframes failures as learning opportunities.

“Videogames have potential for health promotion and may be especially promising when attempting to reach youth. Story immersion (transportation) is a mechanism through which a [videogame] narrative influences players’ cognition, affect, and, potentially, health behavior . [It] complements behavioral change theories, including the Theory of Planned Behavior, Social Cognitive Theory, and Self-Determination Theory.”

F.A.I.L. University’s EscapEDX (knowledgeavatars.com/node/3345) is at the cutting edge of “worldwide growth in [digital] educational escape rooms . . . They’re an innovative way to bring . . . critical thinking into the classroom, and the benefits are twofold: Games [promote] engagement in a learning environment, and the collaborative elements help students develop social skills.”

F.A.I.L. University trains teachers in the use of tech to transform traditional practice and promote student creativity.

“Effective technology integration occurs more at the top-right of the matrix, while most of our practice lingers around the bottom-left.”

“Consistently and overwhelmingly, the evidence showed that experts are always made, not born . . . The development of genuine expertise requires struggle, sacrifice, and honest, often painful self-assessment . . . You don’t improve [in] a game [if] you get only a single chance . . . You don’t get to figure out how you can correct mistakes.”

Another argument for online educational gaming:

“A new study found that

gaming improved generic skills such as problem solving, communication, resourcefulness, and may have a role to play in higher education.”

Another argument for online educational gaming:

“Fifteen-year-olds who play online video games score above average in math, reading, and science, while those who engage in social networking tend to score below average, according to an analysis of international assessment data.”
