During this full-day workshop, participants will be introduced to key concepts, steps and processes involved in designing a serious game for learning. Through hands-on activities and working together in groups, participants will design a learning game. Participants will experience each phase of the design process, including identifying the training requirements and learning objectives, creating an effective story, determining instructional and gaming strategies, and designing key game and instructional mechanics. Central to our approach will be ensuring that that any key design decision addresses both gaming and instructional considerations. During the workshop, participants will be introduced to key methods to use and issues to consider when designing a learning game. Groups will share their designs and discuss their decisions after each phase of design.
