What is Player Scaffolding?

On today’s episode we’ll answer the question “What is Player Scaffolding?”Many people can just jump right into games. They take one look at it and they already “get it” and know how to play.  Whereas other people need a little bit of help. Sometimes this comes in the form of instruction; teaching; or learning from other players. When learning anything new, people most likely learn basic information first before attempting to implement it and then trying something more advanced. When this is implemented in a learning environment or though games-based learning we call this scaffolding.
