Multiplayer Digital Educational Games
MotivationHow can…
… people benefit from playing together?… learning concepts/elements be integrated in games seamlessly?… learning and gaming be balanced reasonably?… learners effectively learn together by use of Digital Educational Games (DEGs) … teachers/trainers effectively use DEGs for teaching?… DEGs provide the appropriate degree of difficulty for each learner?

Research topic: DEG - Collaborative Learning
Definition“Co-laborare” : to work together“A coordinated effort to solve a problem together” (Roschelle, Behrend, 1995)
GoalsEnable players to effectively learn togetherDesign of mechanisms to help/support each other in the process of learningIntegration of necessary and appropriate communication methodsDesign of mechanisms to foster the development of soft skills (teamwork, negotiation, communication)

Approaches and Results
Game Mastering - “Serious Games für die Hochschule” (HMWK)
Students play sports teacherpractice a typical class of physical education with different focuses (handstand, etc.)
Teacher/Lecturer plays principalcan trigger events / adjust difficultyhas logging of all player actions
Collaborative Learning – “Woodment”
Collaborative and competitive DEGUnique player rolesBoni for solving questions together
