• In Event: RTD - Games: Theory and Design Camps

Short Description

A new paradigm in education, that centralizes the role of the learner in the learning process, has been receiving ample attention from educational scholars in recent years. This paper provides a theory-driven comprehensive framework to guide instructional designers to design, implement, and evaluate GBL in Education 3.0. This is a comprehensive framework because it provides instructional designers with assumptions, schematic overview, theoretical models, and research questions that may be answered empirically.
