As we designed each lab, we used the following process.
- Identify the topic
- Engage subject matter experts to determine the learning objective
-
Engage learning scientist, educators and subject matter experts to determine an appropriate learning experience
- Determine whether this is real world or virtual lab project
- Scan the environment for pre-existing resources
- Engage game designers and developers to design the learning experience as a compelling online gaming experience
- Pilot test
- Deploy
