The Summit focused on answering four questions:
* What aspects of learning are most amenable to new approaches offered by games?
* What kinds of research are needed to identify features of gaming that
can be effective in education and training?
* What makes the education market so difficult for innovative commercial developers?
* What kinds of changes in instructional practices and management of educational
institutions are needed to take advantage of the power games could bring to teaching and learning?
- Popular topics within this paper include: the need to be able to teach higher-order skills, goal-oriented learning, challenge, quick feedback, engaging, scaffolding.
