To combat high dropout rates and low motivation for online courses, we gamified a history of science course. To do so, we used an online educational program called 3DGameLab to convert what had been a well-liked face-to-face lecture and discussion course to an online format, for the purposes of long-distance teaching and learning. Within…

Nathan Prestopnik – International Journal of Designs for Learning, 2016
This paper reports a design case for a story-driven language learning game called "Arena." "Arena" was developed in the design science tradition, where purpose-built artifacts are used as a springboard for scientific inquiry. As such, "Arena" is a vehicle for designers and researchers to study the effectiveness of…
