This time in an online discussion with the Chronicle of Higher Education:

The most unimaginative educational games are glorified forms of flash cards we use to cram for test. The best ones are what David Schaffer [sic] calls epistemic games which teach us how professionals think and work by giving students exposure to simulation tools and authentic real world materials. This will help them master the skills of a discipline or profession but may not be great for test prep.
