The document discusses research on game making for learning. It provides data on the number of publications and target populations for game making research. A chart shows the specific themes of this research, including collaboration, creativity, coding literacies and skills. The document also describes a project from 2013-2014 that involved 600 students and teachers participating in game design and production in primary schools and special education centers in several European countries. It discusses benefits observed, such as motivation, collaboration, and critical thinking. Finally, the document outlines a vision for the future of game making tools and environments that support collaboration, user engagement, and access to publishing games.

- 8. I learnt how games are made … a whole new experience. (The good thing was) working together because I wouldn’t have managed on my own. Following my classmates’ suggestions for modifying my game made me feel like a real game inventor. I’ve added Game Designer to the jobs I’d like to do when I grow up.

- UX UCD player modeliing persona scenarios Co-design differs from participatory design in that it does not assume that any stakeholder a priori is more important than any other.[6] It also differs from various user-centered design approaches in that it acknowledges that the client or beneficiary of the design may not be using the artifact itself Participatory design (originally Cooperative Design, also known in the USA as co-design) is an approach to design attempting to actively involve all stakeholders (e.g. employees, partners, customers, citizens, end users) in the design process to help ensure the result meets their needs and is usable. A direct and explicit communication between designer and end-user needs to be established. The way of communication should minimise the chance of misinterpretation on either side. End-users should be enabled to have a realistic interaction with the design information. They should be able to reliably assess the exact functioning and experience of the design under a wide range of circumstances. End-users should be enabled to reliably become conscious of and assess the consequences of design decisions. Consequences of design decisions should be made explicit and presented in a manner that is comprehensible regardless participant’s training or discipline.
