Abstract

C2Learn (www.c2learn.eu) is an ongoing European research project aimed at fostering co-creativity in learning. Playfulness and in particular digital gaming constitute the project's chosen means for learner involvement. Game design defines the elements of learners' playful digital experiences and produces the specifications for the development of the corresponding digital games and other playful activities. End-user school communities are engaged in iterative dialogic cycles leading to the various design decisions and their implementation. The paper particularly focuses on educational scenarios, i.e. the aspect of the design of the C2Learn solution which is most strongly shaped by the collaborating school communities and framed by their educational realities. The development of educational scenarios in C2Learn is a design tool aiming to provide input directly from educational practice, so that the innovative technologies deployed and practices introduced will correspond to the needs, circumstances, expectations and aspirations of the end users.
