How Game Design Foster Cooperation and Collaboration

Hi Wenshang,
As someone that likes to play games, both competitive and cooperatively, this is significant to me and at the same time, not surprising. Collaborative games will have students working towards a common goal rather than against each other. Translating this into educational settings, I’ve seen teachers try something similar by giving tests to people that can be done in pairs; however, both individuals have to write their own tests. Afterwards, the teacher collects only one test from the pair. This ensures the partners work together to have similar answers in order to achieve the highest possible mark. One question I wonder is if there are ways to make competitive games positive too.
