The players can easily see what is going on in all areas of the game. Very easy to understand the game and how to play it. The game is aesthetically pleasing)** **b)Choice of Learning goals (Extremely well articulated learning goals that best match the game.**  **c)Engagement (Consistent emotional connection or tension / very interesting theme that strongly engages the imagination of the players/ the game was very fun to play)d)Flow and balance (No unnecessary procedures. Very few if any exceptions to rules. Very streamlined. No strategic loopholes. All luck elements are appropriate)** **5. Our Assumptions (about the platform, its limitations, frustrations, success...etc)**  **6. User testing (Research on User testing and how we tested...)**  **7. Conclusion (the process of game building, how we intend to test it... etc)** **8. Brochure (supporting doc and materials)**  ** Introduction **  ** The goal of this project is to articulate and communicate the intended user experience **in building a game and practicing effective digital game based teaching. The purpose of building this game is to integrate it with the curriculum and explore the possibilities of using Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) games in classrooms. Specific objective of our game ‘Brian’s Return’ is to demonstrate reflective and critical thought about the value of digital game based learning and consider the changes required in education in order to realize the full potential of new teaching and learning technologies focusing on digital games. As Gee argues, “Good video games allow players to be not just passive consumers but also active producers who can customize their own learning experiences.”(Gee, p. 208). By building the game ‘Brian’s Return’ we hope to invite students to play the game and while being this situation customize their experience learning explorations and be able to relate to the novel. We also hope the students are able to relate and remember the parts of the air-plane control surface while playing the game. In this document our intent is also to reconsider the assumptions we made while developing our game, how it differed from our prototype and also record our Aha Moments! ** Rules to play the game ‘Brian’s Return’: ** ** Ways to Use for Learning: ﻿ ** The intent of making the digital game `Brian`s Return’ is to help the teachers make their lesson plan simpler yet enticing. We have kept Dr. Gee`s learning principles in mind. “Games can show us how to get people to invest in new identities or roles, which can in turn, become powerful motivators for new and deep learning in classrooms and workplaces”. (Gee, 2003). While working on this project we found our views aligning to the Enactivist approach. As Dr. Li suggests, “ Instead of focusing on a “single best sequence” of lessons for learning (Jonassen, 2001), teachers in enactivist classrooms build a rich learning world with abundant stimulation, but enough limits to guide students toward possible co-evolving patterns. Further, the physical, biological, and electronic systems are carefully crafted to merge together, resulting in a rich learning world.” (Li et al, p.13). Having researched and being convinced about the Enactivist approach, we decided to build a game encompassing multiple subject disciplines such as Aerodynamics, Language Arts, Computer Literacy, Science, Health etc. and suggest ways to use this game for learning while aligning to the Alberta Program of Studies catering to grade six. While playing the game, as Dr. Li suggests, “In this world, students are co-authors and designers of the learning environments toward the possible coevolving patterns.”(p.20). Hence while playing our game, ‘Brian’s Return’ students will not only be able to co-author and design an learning environment, they will also gain an improved understanding of team building, learn how to maintain and manage successful interpersonal relationships in order to collaborate effectively and also take charge of their learning. We will now demonstrate a lesson plan wherein students not only fulfill the curriculum objectives in Language Arts and Aerodynamics but also co-create a game! **Subject: Language Arts** **Topic:** Novel Study- “Hatchet” **Timeline:** This unit is expected to take six one hour-fifteen minutes periods. **Lesson Plan/ Activities/ Assessment: (At a glance).**    || **Objectives.**   || Task 1 Task 1 Task 1 Task 1 Task 1 Task 1 20 minutes 20 minutes 20 minutes 20 minutes 20 minutes 15 minutes 20 minutes ||  || // Students will listen, speak, read, write, view and represent to explore ideas, feelings and experiences. //

** Introduction ** The goal of this project is to articulate and communicate the intended user experience in building a game and practicing effective digital game based teaching. The purpose of building this game is to integrate it with the curriculum and explore the possibilities of using Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) games in classrooms. Specific objective of our game ‘Brian’s Return’ is to demonstrate reflective and critical thought about the value of digital game based learning and consider the changes required in education in order to realize the full potential of new teaching and learning technologies focusing on digital games. As Gee argues, “Good video games allow players to be not just passive consumers but also active producers who can customize their own learning experiences.”(Gee, p. 208). By building the game ‘Brian’s Return’ we hope to invite students to play the game and while being this situation customize their experience learning explorations and be able to relate to the novel. We also hope the students are able to relate and remember the parts of the air-plane control surface while playing the game. In this document our intent is also to reconsider the assumptions we made while developing our game, how it differed from our prototype and also record our Aha Moments! ** Rules to play the game ‘Brian’s Return’: ** ** Ways to Use for Learning: ** **Design Decisions:** The success of our game lies in alignment with the interests of the users.
