Clerebout Robby (coordinator) | Clerebout Robby | Wolfs Jonathan | N. Aims
- The student will be able to apply game-based learning priciples and the octalysis model
- The students can approach a target group, identify needs and create a design plan
- Students will be able to develop a highly iterative process based on feedback from the target audience
- Students will deliver a game that incorporates the acquisition of extrinsic knowledge within the game system

First termClerebout Robby | Wolfs Jonathan | N. Content
In this module, students will use educational design, game rhetoric and game design to develop a prototype of a game that is both engaging and informative.
The underlying philosophy is that "playing" and "learning" are very similar and that only "good" gaming can motivate the player so that a learning effect occurs.
Students apply rapid prototyping and user testing to go through multiple iterations of development.
This leads them to create a game developed in collaboration with and tailored to a particular target audience. Central to this is working around needs previously identified by students.

Evaluation
3GD Game Based Learning (B-LUCA-N83900)
Explanation
| Assessment | Grading scale |
|---|---|
| TOTAL | 1-20/20 scale |
The assignment is submitted through Toledo. Information about the assignment and deadline can be found on Toledo.
Group assignment - evaluated individually.
Groups are evaluated according to the following parameters:
- Mapping of the target group
- Process of prototyping to appropriate game systems
- The educational value of the final design
- Conducting and documenting playtests with the target group
The distribution of tasks among team members should be clearly stated in the game design document.
Individual assessment is based on this information.
Information about retaking exams
Participation in the first examination opportunity is a condition for participating in the resit because process evaluation is an essential part of the evaluation.
Students who received a failing grade on the "group work" section in the first session must complete an individual replacement assignment for the retake.
Specific information about the assignment will be communicated on Toledo.
There is no (process) supervision during the second examination period.
The workshops/studios cannot be used during the summer closure.
There is a limited possibility to borrow material.
