Paper Abstract:
|
This paper describes the design and development of a networked learning game: Astroversity. The game is designed to support the development of collaboration, planning and scientific analysis skills for 13-15 year olds. The experience combines features of a mainstream computer game with scaffolding resources appropriate to the challenges set to encourage reflection on collaboration, planning and analytic processes. This paper discusses the games objectives and the iterative design approach taken to develop the learning environment, including the ways in which early collaboration with users impacted on the development. |
