Gbl Design Principle 5: MEANINGFUL: Designing Learning that Matters
A game can be fun, engaging, and realistic-but does it actually matter to the learner?
CHARM Your Learning Masterclass Series: Volume 7 - Meaningful explores how gameplay can be intentionally connected to learning needs, objectives, learner goals, roles, responsibilities, and real-world decisions.
Meaningful is one of the five core principles of the CHARM approach. This Volume examines how every element of a Game-Based Learning experience can serve a clear learning purpose while still preserving the enjoyment and freedom of play.
Discover how to design learning experiences that:
- Connect gameplay to clear learning objectives and needs
- Give learners purposeful roles, choices, and challenges
- Ensure game elements have a meaningful learning purpose
- Connect gameplay to learners' goals and responsibilities
- Create challenges that are relevant to the learning context
- Bridge what happens in the game with real-world situations
- Move beyond "fun" to create learning that matters
Designed for educators, trainers, instructional designers, facilitators, and learning professionals, this Volume provides practical design strategies for creating Game-Based Learning experiences that are purposeful, relevant, and connected to what learners need to do beyond the game.
Because Game-Based Learning is not meaningful simply because learners enjoy playing.
It becomes meaningful when the play matters to the learning-and the learning matters to the learner.
Design Smart. CHARM Your Learning. Building Capability.
