Do we have something to learn from gaming?
A new Agency study says the answer is yes.
Online Game Technology for Space Education and System Analysis, looks at potential applications of different online game-playing technologies from the simplest content-oriented games through to Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) virtual worlds.
The effect on our culture of having this space education are :
1) This immersive environments based on these technologies could enhance collaborative working of project scientists and engineers.
2) It could prove an excellent tool for promoting space and supporting the teaching of science, technology, engineering and maths.
3) People will alert the importance of technology in their lives and they will not want to be left to experience new technology invented.
Games could be valuable to educators who want to learn more about the space industry, and be in a better position to support students. Simulation games designed as information tools and meeting places could be used to inform and attract potential future space professionals.
Some barriers to acceptance of this technology are :
1) It will cost a lot. It recommends looking into public-private partnerships which would be self-financing, enabling online games operators to invest in development, support and game content, building upon technical and scientific expertise.
2) it requires widespread consultation concerning the design and promotion of any potential product for such an initiative to become a successful educational tool.
3) Parents guidance/Guardians are needed to monitor students using it. But, some parents might against the teaching of gaming because they might think it is not necessary for their children to learn it.
Legal or ethical challenges that this technology will pose:
* Students especially, will spend too much time on playing games rather than studying or do other beneficial things. They will socialize with their friends only through virtual life but not in their real life. They will become less alert of what is happening in their surrounding.

Students will not focus on their study but if the games are based on their study, I think it will give benefit to them.
