Abstract
This paper describes an approach to affordably integrating quality gaming capabilities into a learning experience that has been dynamically constructed from existing learning objects by a learner, content developer, or instructional designer. The concept of embedding gaming in learning experiences has grown in popularity among e-learning professionals with 98% reporting that they are interested in a learning process that uses computer games. At the same time, however, only 4% are currently using computer games in their e-learning delivery (Masie, 2003). Two major deterrents are the costs associated with creating high-quality, custom games and the industry shift towards personalized learning experiences derived from selected, smaller learning objects. The approach described in this paper overcomes obstacles related to the cost of game-based scenario creation and the dynamic assembly of smaller learning objects for personalized learning.
