Have you considered including gaming in learning? Studies have been made that suggest the benefits of game-based in education. For instance role-playing games increase the students’ communication, leadership, problem solving and collaboration skills along their academic development so they are in fact developing the students’ personalities and characters which is essential because upon their graduation our communities need individuals with social and interpersonal skills not only academic achievements. Don’t get me wrong that doesn’t mean neglecting of the academic aspect on the contrary, using games in education can add thrill to further encourage learners to engage in it specially if they initially think that the topics/subjects are boring or overwhelming, educators can use games to make them more fun and inviting, of course that would mean the need for training the teaching staff on how to include games within their curriculum but I am sure it’s worth it.
