Use game as e-learning courses
Teachers can use games for their courses. However, many would think that learning environment instead of a course.

I agree with it . games may work and in compbination with other leanring activities. after reading Horton's book. i would like to share with your guys How he addressed those activities. According to Horton, He addressed that " a typical leanring game starts with a brief introduction that frames the game by telling what is simulated and what will be learned in the game. For example, Second Life is a tool of leanring languages."

(1) combine presentations and readings with a game
Learners can get a chance to apply what they learned in the presentation or reading. it is kind of feedback for them.

(2) Include software simulations in the online manual or help file for computer software.
I agree with it . we give learners resaons to look things up in the documentation. The documentation includes a task beyond those of the simulation.

(3)in a complex game, the learners have to conduct researc and to proceed in the game. it gives learners a virtual laboratory which is to conduct experiments to fin out informaton needed in the game.
