N2  - Knowledge institutions are often distracted by themselvesand unable to understand what happens in the world of cultural consumption. thevideogame, for example, is quite different from all other media forms, owningits peculiar language, the gameplay: an interactive, experiential participationwhich guarantees a form of involvement that no other medium has. If everymedium carries an educational potential, the use of video-games as a learningtool still remains largely undefined. To implement video game within theeducational system may look like a radical revolution. We should try differentsolutions: the so called “gamification” approach, using videogame dynamicswithin our common educational framework or “Simulation Based Learning” using virtualworlds in which teachers and students can simulate experiences by their ownrules. Experience based Learning provided by video games may become theultimate form of contextual education. It is able to simulate a real-lifeexperience, improving both student engagement and learning. We have to look atthe games as a tool, whose value in education depends on how they are used aspart a comprehensive strategy. The traditional methods of education are focusedon the acquisition of skills in the individual subjects, often neglectingcrucial components for success, such as communication and collaboration. I tryto define an optimal, real-life solution that decreases the centrality of thewritten medium, currently at the base of the educational system, merging andintegrating it with new tools and techniques, adding to the traditionalliteracy processes a renewed techno-literacy, necessary for students tocommunicate and learn.
