Challenges in Designing Domain-Specific Modeling Language for Educational Games

چکیده
In this paper, we discuss the challenges related to the design of domain-specific modeling languages to design educational games. A domainspecific modeling language uses the vocabulary of the application domain and provides abstractions that make the specifications of solutions easier and more accessible for domain experts and end users. Although such an approach looks promising for involving domain experts and end users in the design process of educational games, several research questions still need to be solved.
