'Pedagogy had always established an unequal relation between the teacher and the taught. Andragogy stepped in to rectify this and foster awareness about how adults learned. However, the premise was that there was someone doing the "teaching" so to speak. While the principles of Andragogy clearly stated what it takes to motivate adults to learn, the role of a teacher / the expert remained undisputed.

'Replayability or the “do over” gives the player permission to fail. In games, failure is an option. And it’s a good one.

'Often someone will say to me that the reason they want to include a game in a curriculum is because they want “stealth learning.” They don’t want the learners to know they are actually learning, instead, they want them to have fun and then learn.
