One of the features video games, board games and other types of games have over traditional learning environments is the frequency and intensity of feedback. UX Week 2009 | Robin Hunicke | Wildflowers: The UX of Game/Play from Adaptive Path on Vimeo. Feedback in games is almost constant. Hear Robin explain it herself.
