Implementing Digital Game-Based Learning in Schools: Augmented Learning Environment of 'Europe 2045'
2010
Abstract
Here, we present a framework for an Augmented Learning Environment (ALE), which verbalises one way of how these problems can be challenged. The ALE framework has been constructed based on our experience with the educational game, Europe 2045, which we developed and which has been implemented in a number of secondary schools in the Czech Republic during 2008.
The key feature of this game is that it combines principles of on-line multi-player computer games with social, role-playing games. The evaluation which we present in this paper indicates the successful integration of the game and its acceptance by teachers and students.
