Utilising Game Design to Create Engaging Education: A framework for Gameful Learning
Pages 351 - 352
Abstract
If educators were to be skilled game designers, then they would be better equipped to design engaging education scenarios. This research engages in studying commercial design of engagement in games, so educators may be able to better facilitate engaging educational design, facilitated through quantified engagement metrics (SCEQ) and game design principles (GameFlow).
