Digital Game-Based Learning and Assessment: Augmented Reality for Schools

Outcome 1: Understand what game-based learning is and how to confidently implement it in class: lesson planning (including formative assessment);

Relevant subject, skill or competence: The participant will be better able to select the best tools to use in planning classroom activity

Description: The participant can more confidently select appropriate tools that meet student needs and lesson and formative assessment requirements; with the use of game-based learning, the participant can design successful scaffolding activities to meet different teaching aims, as well as devise formative assessment tasks.

Outcome 2: Discovering strategies to foster students’ motivation and creativity with games and Extended/Augmented Reality;

Relevant subject, skill or competence: The participant can tap into students’ motivation reserves, by making classroom activity attractive, and closer to students’ experiences outside the classroom

Description: By implementing the use of AI, the participant can decrease the distance students often perceive between teaching, and the school environment, and their life experience, outside the school.

Outcome 3: Create lesson plans based on digital game-based learning and Extended/ Augmented Reality;

Relevant subject, skill or competence: The participant will be better able to transition educational practice from the traditional sphere to a modern, AI oriented, and AI supported one

Description: The participant will be able to devise lesson plans in which AI is used, and organically integrated, that motivate students and help them see the link between school life and their everyday life.

Outcome 4: Design formative and summative assessment strategies using Extended/ Augmented Reality;

Relevant subject, skill or competence: The participant can move with greater ease from teaching strategies using AI to assessment strategies using AI

Description: By ensuring a continuation from teaching to evaluation, the participant can help students see the link and relevance of both to their day to day life and, by extension, that assessment is relevant to both the teaching preceding it, and their own existence and life requirements outside of school.
