Chapters
This is an in-depth look at how to make anything fun, in particular in games, education and life as a whole. The research is based on the book FLOW by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. My main point is that FUN = FLOW = LEARNING. The best predictor for fun is a good learning environment. In this video I dive deep into implications and practical solutions for game developers and designers, educators and anyone who just wants to have more fun in life, or gain a better understanding of the concept of "FUN". How do we make more fun games? What can education really learn from games (without "cheap" gamification tactics)? What makes for a fun and fulfilled life? I don't have all the answers, bud I do have some pretty FUN theories about it. Enjoy! :)
