Towards a game-based learning instructional design model focusing on integration

This chapter focuses on a new instructional design model for game-based learning (GBL) that pinpoints the elements that are to be considered when designing learning environments in which GBL occurs. One key element of the model is discussed more in detail, being the integration of instructional elements in a GBLE. Based on different studies, the chapter concludes with emphasizing the importance of the design of the GBLE in the GBL processes. More specifically, the interplay between the instructional elements and the game elements is an important aspect in the GBL-process. Several decisions have to be made when designing a GBLE, and these decisions are of influence on GBL outcomes.status: publishe
