Links sobre diseño de videojuegos enfocados en el aprendizaje

game based learning

Aprovechando el articulo anterior, me acuerde que había encontrado hace unos días una pagina muy interesante que hacia referencia a algunos links de otros tantos recursos que compartían algunos consejos y conocimientos sobre el diseño de videojuegos para educación.

El blog de referencia, upsidelearning, ya de si es muy bueno, por el enfoque sobre el aprendizaje online en todas sus facetas, web, móvil, videojuegos, gamificacion/ludificación/ludotización (soy fiel a mis compromisos), un grande conjunto de información realmente útil para todos los que tengan interés por seguir el tema del aprendizaje digital; en este caso presenta realmente un visión bastante interesante sobre el diseño de videojuegos con un enfoque en la educación.
