Digital Games Based Learning Design

Abstract

Digital Games Based Learning (DGBL) is an application or computer program designed to enhance the learning process and knowledge development of game players using digital media and technology to present learning content in a creative, interactive, and enjoyable manner. A key aspect of digital games-based learning is the seamless integration of learning content and game functionalities, resulting in effective learning outcomes. DGBL has emerged as an outstanding educational approach that leverages collaboration and interaction between players and digital games to enhance learning outcomes. This article aims to introduce the concept of six steps in the design process of digital games for learning. These steps include 1. Setting learning objectives 2. Identifying the target audience 3. Creating content details 4. Selecting the game platform5. Game design 6. Testing and refinement
The objective of these steps is to facilitate an understanding of how educational practitioners can incorporate the characteristics of digital games into the design of digital games for learning to achieve learning objectives and encourage learner engagement in the learning process.
