Roundtable: D&D-Exploring the Game-Based Learning Design Process within a Research-Practice Partnership Context

• In Event: Gallery Walk Showcase
  In Showcase Session: Gallery 09 - Designing with Games or for Gamification

Short Description

This design-based research study examines the design process of a VR game-based learning unit through a research-practice partnership (R-PP) between a university and a middle school. The data sources include 700 minutes of design meeting recordings, teacher interviews, and researchers’ reflection notes. Results shows that the R-PP relationship appeared to foster an effective game design process as it allowed researchers and teachers to contribute equally to the game and the GBL curriculum design.
