GameOn: Game Design Steps for Inclusion

Content

This playlist aims to help you learn about game design. Especially if you are an educator who wants to apply a game design process as an educational tool, it will guide you through the different steps to follow. It pretends to be a resource to reinforce a good implementation of this tool, promoting social inclusion and critical thinking among the participants. 
﻿
It addresses the power of games, how to use them as an educational tool, how to be a good supporter in game design processes, the skills required and the different ways to use the tool. In addition, from the Game On project we focus on the relationship between game design and inclusion. The entire last section addresses how games and processes can be inclusive, what competencies for inclusion can be developed and how to achieve this.

Content

This activity will help you learn about the different methodological models when implementing an educational game design process.
﻿
Based on our research, the GameOn partners developed seven methodological models (MeMos). The seven categories are divided into: participative, transformative, collaborative, formative, curricular, mixing and consultative methodologies. We asked 23 facilitators of game design and interviewed some of them in the podcast series “Unfolding Game Design” where we got to know more about the different approaches used in the game design journey. 
﻿
We identified the following game design approaches that vary in the participation level and their application context. You can explore and download them in different languages: ENG, CAT, IT, LIT, SRB, ESP.
