Using games as a teaching strategy

Kellie Glendon et al. J Nurs Educ. 2005 Jul.

Abstract

Both of these games are relatively easy to develop and are fun ways for faculty to challenge students and provide immediate feedback so students can assess their own comprehension and, consequently, their need for further study (Ulrich & Glendon, 2005). Teacher-delivered factual material is often tedious and boring, while games are highly motivating and accomplish the same objectives.
