The document outlines a Learning Games Design Framework for creating educational games that enhance the learning experience through an experiential learning cycle. It details the main components of the framework, including objective, actions, feedback, and analysis systems, each designed to guide students in achieving learning objectives. Additionally, it discusses the Learning Analytics Framework to track engagement, retention, achievement, decision-making, and quiz scores to assess student performance effectively.

1. Learning Games
Design Framework

2. What is a Learning Games Design
Framework?
A framework for designing small
bit-sized educational games for
use in learning institution for
more effective learning through
Experiential Learning
Cycle(Experience, Reflection,
Conceptualise, Test).

3. Main Components
- Objective System
- Actions System
- Feedback System
- Analysis System

4. Objectives System
The Objectives System relates to the Conceptualise Phase.
With the end goal in mind, students will be setting what are
the objectives that they think helps them achieve their end
goal. Then they proceed to work towards their objective by
selecting the actions.
Example: End Goal of becoming a Monopoly, student may
choose to create a positive cashflow, extend reach of
demand or identify a way to block out competitors.

5. Actions System
The Actions System are the key decisions that the students
select in order to achieve the objectives that they have set.
There will be a variety of options that the students will be
presented with in order to assess their thinking process in a
non-linear manner.

6. Feedback System
The Feedback System provide the students with the
feedback of their selected Actions, hence experiencing the
results of their actions.
The Feedback Systems consist of :
- Dialogue
- Animation
- Graph
- Data Display

7. Analysis System
Analysis System provides the students with means of
reflecting upon the outcomes of their actions through
measuring the progress of their objectives and showing hints
to help them understand the underlying concepts.

8. Example
Objective : Understanding the MC = MR for maximising
profits
Actions : Change in no. of Workers in production
Feedback : Change in production output, cost of production
and revenue
Analysis : Observe the relationship in the changes in order
to locate the optimal no. of workers for maximising profits

9. Twine
Use Twine to create the prototype to test out the defined
sets of learning objectives. This will allow for easy replication
of Arcademy games and tested before production starts.

11. Pros of this approach
- Can be highly adaptable to various topic and complexity
levels.
- Easy for non-gamers to play
- Focused on learning objectives

12. Cons of this approach
- Lack of depth in gameplay
- Might not appeal to certain group of gamers

13. Learning Analytics
Framework

14. Learning Analytics Framework
The main data that we will be tracking are as follow:
- Engagement
- Retention
- Achievement/Objective
- Key Decision Points
- Quiz Scores

15. Engagement
For engagement, we will be looking at
Average Sessions per User and Average
Session Length. This will inform us how
much time the students are spending in
the game.

16. Retention
For retention, we will be looking at the
cohort .

17. Achievement/Objective
Achievement/Objective will be a key data
points to measure the performance level of
the students. Here we can see an overview
of what are the objectives that are most
achieved by the students and which are the
least.

18. Key Decision Points
To measure the behaviour of the
students when they are making key
decisions, we will use a Funnel to
capture the various decision points and
at each point, what are the drop-off
rates for the students.

19. Quiz Scores
Using a leaderboard, we can consolidate an
overview of the quiz scores of the students
and compare them with their other datas to
evaluate on their performance.
