endogenous design

This note last modified September 1, 2024

Design where game design is integrated with learning objectives

  • Resonant Games (textbook for endogenous design)
  • Maybe see Learning by Doing (Cutting, CHIPlay 2022)? intrinsic integration, I’ve also heard it called embedded design

Backlinks

  • chocolate covered broccoli
    • Merely adding gameplay to a boring task won’t make it fun or effective, just like adding chocolate to broccoli won’t make it tasty. You need to your gameplay to align with and support the themes that you are trying to portray via endogenous design
