Paper Abstract:
|
Game based learning can be seen as an interesting approach to learning, but the complexity of todays videogames demands from developers a robust foundation in a variety of technologies. On the other hand, the educational part of game based learning requires the active participation of field experts. The collaboration between those experts and game developers is always difficult. The project addresses this problem by offering an authoring environment for educational adventure games that does not demand a deep formation in Information and Communication Technologies. The author (an expert in a specific field) only needs to write documents that describe the contents of the videogame following the XML syntax and feed them to the engine. In turn, the engine produces a fully functional game from those documents. |
