INTERACTIVE GAME CREATION FOR LEARNING

Background and rationale of the project:
Game based learning can be seen under several different aspects. One aspect is to integrate complex, (high-in-production-costs) games into didactical settings to enhance a learning-experience for students. Another view is to actively involve teachers and students in the game-creation-process giving them better control over contents as well as pedagogical settings.
The proposed project follows the second view and aims at the following project goals:

The main project idea is to

• develop a platform that showcases ongoing game-based-learning-productions by students and teachers (games can be uploaded for others to try out),
• helps exchanging didactical settings on how games can be implemented into classroom scenarios
• provides tools that help teachers and students that lack a technical background to actively participate in the game-creation process by using online-editors to create new games.
