A Game Development Platform for Serious Educational Games Creating Game-Based Learning Across the Curriculum

Motivation Educators from different institutions and programs often face similar challenges: they must teach a significant level of required, standardized, knowledge. Likewise, effective instructors work to increase student time-on-task, encourage participation from a broad range of students of different backgrounds and various levels of preparedness, while working to develop critical life-long learning skills. In K-18 education, the pressure to do more with less, and to maintain high levels of accountability require that any innovative tool introduced into a curriculum is highly cost-effective, adaptable, learner centered, provides measurable assessment results, and is relatively easy for faculty to use.
