Designing with learners for game-based collaborative learning: an account of T-rex group
Pages 120 - 122
Abstract
This presentation discusses our design approach to incorporating learner voices in developing a game for learning Earth system science, Voyage to the Age of Dinosaurs (VAD). We will particularly focus on the account of a group (T-rex) of 4 participants as to what kind of meanings they are attributing to the artifacts they are creating during the workshops and how these meanings from learners' voices are contributing to our design.
