The campus student life is one of the most important phases in a young student’s life when experiencing the great field of intellectual ideas, learning and studying fundamentals as well as making new friends for a lifetime. It is the time where you are full of energy to explore the world and the nature of things creating our global society and changing the world into a better one. With each semester, a new generation of doctors, managers and lectors are growing, ready to enter the economy, political and business world.
Better learning by using the fun factor
Intense studies and learning is the core part of each semester at college or university. Learning will always be easier if it brings fun to students to enjoy, explore and understand while gaining knowledge. There is a specific reason why lectors and professors assign unique tasks to small groups of their students. Working together in a collective group educates and evolves important team skills and is the basis for future team work in a company or institution. It also improves social interaction to share knowledge and work together to achieve a common goal which leads to success. Furthermore, it will bring fun to the whole group.
The role of Sport and Games
Part of the student life are fun activities like sport competitions, dancing, games and cultural events. Games improve special abilities and team play. Managing a team is very different from just playing alone. A team will succeed if every single skill of each character and team member is used wisely.
Train your skills with Online Games
The same educational aspects of offline games also apply to online games. These games are even more practical as most of future jobs will take place in front of a computer coordinating and communicating with people via e-mail, telephone and video conferences.
One of my favourite movies based on a true story of the MIT Blackjack Team used their mathematical and team skills to play Blackjack in the film “21“. Online games like Blackjack and Poker are used by students to educate and train mathematics as well as relational and calculational thinking. These online games can easily be enjoyed from home using the Internet and websites.
With online games, students can specifically train their brain for very different skills which bring actual benefits to their study and learning effects. Educational online games can be categorized as follows:
- Memory Games (simple and complex patterns to remember and to repeat)
- Logic Games (finding logical solutions for a task)
- Maths Games (various mathematical calculations)
- Art Games (improves creativity by design and art)
International university studies confirm that continuous practice using online games improves the learning curve and capacity of students developing very unique creativity, flexibility and logical abilities.
