Game-Based Assessment Revisited
The capabilities and possibilities of emerging game-based learning technologies bring about a new perspective of learning and instruction. This, in turn, necessitates alternative ways to assess the kinds of learning that are taking place in the game-based environments. The field has been broadening the focus of assessment in game environments (i.e., what we measure), developing processes and methodologies that go beyond psychometrics practices (i.e., how we go about assessment in games), and implementing the game-based assessment (GBA) in real contexts. The current state of the field calls for a revisit of this topic to understand what we have learned from the research on this topic, and how the GBA work changed how the field thinks about assessment beyond game environments. Accordingly, this comprehensive volume covers the current state of research, methodology, and technology of game-based assessment. It features four major themes: what we are measuring in games, how GBA has influenced how people do assessment beyond games, new methods and practices, and implementations of GBA. The audience for this volume includes researchers, graduate students, teachers, and professional practitioners in the areas of education, instructional design, educational psychology, academic and organizational development, and instructional technology.
Game-based Learning Across the Disciplines
The volume focuses on epistemological, theoretical and empirical issues of game-based learning in various disciplines. It encompasses questions of game design as well as instructional integration and organizational implementation of game-based learning across various disciplines and includes contributions from different levels of the formal educational system (i.e., primary, secondary and tertiary education) as well as contributions reporting the use of game-based learning in informal learning settings. The volume addresses scholars, practitioners and students who are interested in how games and game-based learning can be designed, implemented and evaluated in a cross-, inter- and transdisciplinary perspective.
Challenge Based Learning
Drawing on Game-Based Learning and other innovations, this textbook establishes the Challenge Model of learning—an interactive format that involves meaningful learner decisions leading to exploration of different outcomes. It includes more than 50 different examples of challenges which can be applied to different sites of learning, schools and universities through to professional training. While the challenges are suitable for use 'out of the box', this textbook also presents design principles and tools for those seeking to create their own challenges. It also includes additional in-depth discussion of several different projects for more comprehensive integration of challenges into the curriculum and using innovative technologies to enhance learning. This textbook is useful for teaching students seeking to understand how interactivity can be integrated into their design toolbox and also serves as a resource for current teachers to develop their teaching approach and seek out new options.
