This is the title of a book I should consider reading from front to back.
Here are two excerpts which we can read online right now:
If these two are typical of what I would expect then ...
as I research a bit more, I found that I actually have commented on some opinions from the same authors, see Proof of Learning: Assessment in Serious Games
Ooops. I may pass this book.
Anyway, the authors seem to have something to say. Looking at their background in Amazon, the first author
David "RM" Michael has been a professional programmer for over 10 years, in a variety of industries, including video games. He is the owner of DavidRM Software (http://www.davidrm.com) and co-owner of Samu Games (http://www.samugames.com), both independent software companies.
After a quick trip to the two websites, so he is an experienced RPG gamer and game master. The second author is
A free-lance writer/game designer, ... has been active in the gaming industry for over five years. ... written for mainstream and industry publications, ... a contributor to Secrets of the Game Business (Charles River Media; ISBN: 1584502827) on the topic of online business models. ... In 1996, she was nominated for a Grammy in music video direction.
What a talent! But it does not have anything to do with education and training.
OK, I will pass on this one. If you have read the book, please drop me a note to tell me if I have missed anything interesting.
