Game-based learning helps to improve learners’ creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The game-based learning model allows teachers and corporate trainers to target specific activities that benefit learners in the understanding of the real-world application of concepts. The growing need for technologically advanced learning and a modern approach to high-quality education drive market growth. The rising demand for game-based learning in the corporate sector for corporate training and skill development related to new technologies is propelling market growth. In addition, immersing technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality, along with enhanced and improved digital infrastructure for learning, have positively impacted market development. However, lack of action in game-based learning approaches, classroom setting issues, limited IT infrastructure availability, and failure to implement game-based learning hamper market growth. Technological advancements such as the implementation of augmented reality and the increasing need and adoption of language-based learning are expected to create a market opportunity.
Game Type: Integration of AR and VR in game-based learning, offering immersive experience and maintaining learner engagement
In a rapidly evolving educational landscape, game-based learning (GBL) has emerged as a pivotal tool, harnessing the power of various game types to foster personalized and immersive learning experiences. AI-based games stand at the forefront, utilizing artificial intelligence to adaptively calibrate challenges to each learner’s skill level, thus pinpointing and bolstering areas of weakness. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) games transcend traditional learning boundaries by creating vivid, immersive environments for practical, hands-on experience in medicine and engineering. Meanwhile, assessment & evaluation games revolutionize the assessment process through interactive gameplay that offers immediate feedback, maintains learner engagement, and accurately measures competencies. Language learning games leverage interactive narratives and challenges to enhance language acquisition, making the process educational and engaging. Furthermore, location-based games integrate physical activity with learning by tapping into GPS technologies, encouraging real-world exploration that enriches geographical and historical education. In addition, training, knowledge & skill-based games offer a virtual platform for acquiring and applying new skills in a risk-free setting, making them an invaluable resource for professional and vocational development. These varied game types form the cornerstone of game-based learning, offering a dynamic and effective approach to education in the digital age.
Deployment: Utilization of on-cloud & on-premise learning due to their flexibility and cost-efficiency
In the dynamic field of game-based learning, selecting an optimal deployment strategy plays a pivotal role in ensuring accessibility, scalability, and efficacy of the learning experience. The primary deployment models, namely on-cloud and on-premise, each present distinct advantages tailored to meet the diverse needs of educational bodies and corporate training schemes. Cloud-based deployment, characterized by remote server hosting accessible via the internet, offers unparalleled flexibility, allowing learners to engage with material regardless of location. This model is scalable and cost-efficient, with a pay-as-you-go pricing structure and automatic updates minimizing operational costs and downtime. Conversely, on-premise deployment, which involves hosting the learning software on local servers, grants organizations absolute control over their learning ecosystem. This method provides robust data security and enhanced performance through reduced latency, ensuring a seamless user experience.
