Sep 5, 2017

Are games in elearning a powerful tool for engaging learners or a gimmick that turns them off? Maybe they're a bit of both?

This week on the GoodPractice Podcast, Emma Barrow from Yorkshire Building Society joins James, Ross G and Eoghan from the GoodPractice team to discuss elearning games.

If you'd like to share your thoughts on the show, you can find Emma on Twitter @SavageNoodles, Ross @RossGarnerGP, James @JamesMcLuckie and Eoghan @EoghanScott.

Ross had to Google the ZX Spectrum after recording this episode, so here is the Wikipedia page if you're interested in doing the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrum

The podcast Ross recommended, and where he got the definition of 'diurnal' from, was No Such Thing As A Fish: http://qi.com/podcast 

And Eoghan's fact about Edinburgh property prices was covered by the Scotsman: http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/homes-gardens/how-much-do-you-need-to-earn-an-hour-to-buy-in-each-edinburgh-postcode-1-4539977
