Liang, Hsin-Yi; Hsu, Tien-Yu; Hwang, Gwo-Jen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Active inquiry plays a key role in science education. To facilitate children's motivation, alternate reality games are applied to engage children actively in inquiry in authentic learning contexts. However, the complexity of real-world contexts and the ambiguity of game puzzles increase the difficulty for children to conduct effective inquiries.…

Hummel, Hans G. K.; Nadolski, Rob J.; Eshuis, Jannes; Slootmaker, Aad; Storm, Jeroen – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2021
Introductory Psychology courses in Higher Education lack application of knowledge in solving work-based problems. We develop and study mini-games that support a more active and experiential way of learning to increase professional awareness. This paper describes the instructional design and the factors under study: learner control and…
