| Annotation | Based on their experience as designers and/or users of games as a learner-centred strategy in gerontology, geriatric, and ageing-related courses and training programmes, the authors note multiple advantages of using games as a learning tool. They list six relevant games (including order information), suggest a variety of ways in which games can be used, and offer guidelines to apply in selecting appropriate games. They discuss key aspects of the instructor's or facilitator's role in preparing learners for game playing, monitoring game play, and debriefing students once game play has ended. Outcomes for learners and course instructors are shared. (KJ/RH). |
