Had a productive Beaconing Virtual Workshop yesterday, where the partners demonstrated the current status of the various components that are also currently being integrated.
There are various components ranging from the game engine and authoring tool through to the analytics, PCG and context-aware components.
To break barriers of space and time in learning, there needs to be an overarching backbone that will bring these components together, and in our case it is the lesson paths that are being gamified and made more pervasive and context-aware. Each lesson path will be encapsulated by meta-game plots and narratives to provide a playful interface to the learning process, with key learning activities represented by a suite of mini-games and location-based activities. Please see the promo video in my previous post.
And the plot thickens with the need to support three different stakeholders i.e. learners, teachers and parents. The lesson path, analytics and dashboard teams are working hard to ensure that we take their needs and requirements into considerations.
Thanks to all the partners for the hard work to date and looking forward to the first integrated prototype by the end of the month.
