Jeffrey Earp

The document discusses learner collaboration in digital game making. It describes a project called MAGICAL that aims to investigate how collaborative game making can foster learning of soft skills. The project will develop a game authoring environment called MAGOS that allows groups of 1-4 students to collaboratively create games. MAGICAL will also provide educational games, pedagogical tools and guidance for teachers to support adoption of collaborative game making in classrooms.

Editor's Notes

  • #24: (features derived from platform, puzzle, racing and roleplay/adventure games are included).
  • #25: push two hydrogen atoms together to form h2 -> push h2 molecule together with oxygen atom to form water (h20).2) push water to fire in order to put out the fire SOKOBAN
  • #26: Sometimes it is hard to generate ideas for the gameTeachers would like to direct students attention to certain learning themeCame should not always need to be educational design process itself is the learning situation
