What is Consequences

Chapter 75
Handbook of Research on Effective Electronic Gaming in Education
In video game terms, and especially in the positive impact model, consequences are essential to learning and to assessing progress. If actions in the game had no discernable consequences, there would be no way to make progress, and to learn. Essentially, consequences are one of the key elements used in games to provide learning opportunities.

Abstract
What is the future of video games? Is it more realism? More violence? Better physics? Artificially intelligent characters? More social networking games? Free to play and advertising supported? Games for non-gamers? More controversy, political scapegoating, and legal challenges? It’s probably all of the above, and more. In fact, while we may expect to see more of the same from the commercial video game industry, there is always the potential for surprises, both pleasant and not-so pleasant. One area of the future of games is less often discussed, but represents one of the most powerful and positive directions the industry could take. I call it the “positive impact model,” and for the rest of this chapter, I will attempt to provide some insight into what that phrase is meant to convey.
