During portfolio development at Sheridan College we were instructed to conduct a deep dive on a personal and meaningful topic related to the field of game design.
I've previously worked as a STEAM mentor and game designer on edutainment products driven by my experience with educational games as a child. Approaches to learning and engagement have evolved rapidly since. However, finding solutions to creating effective learning tools that balance engagement and learning has proven to be a challenge.
The goal of my research was to explore the relationship between game design, engagement, and learning outcomes and gauge the impact of game-based learning on student engagement with educational content.
