Tiemann, Rüdiger; Annaggar, Amany – Interactive Learning Environments, 2023
This paper proposes a framework for designing digital environments and illustrates this framework using the example of a video game (Alchemist). The increasing importance of digital environments for educational systems (e.g. for teaching and assessing twenty-first century skills) makes it necessary to have standards for their quality. These…

Beserra, Vagner; Nussbaum, Miguel; Grass, Antonio – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
When using educational video games, particularly drill-and-practice video games, there are several ways of providing an answer to a quiz. The majority of paper-based options can be classified as being either multiple-choice or constructed-response. Therefore, in the process of creating an educational drill-and-practice video game, one fundamental…
