Methods for Designing and Evaluating Educational Games

• In Event: 41-W5 Workshop: Methods for Designing and Evaluating Educational Games (preregistration required)

Short Description

This workshop is intended for individuals interested in the design of educational games. Specifically, it will focus on how to align the components of instruction, assessment, game mechanics, player and system affordances, and data capture for maximum pedagogical and psychometric effectiveness. Via review and discussion of existing games and simulations, participants will delve into a game design methodology developed by UCLA/CRESST and successfully implemented in K-12 and military applications for more than a decade.
