Designing Online Information Literacy Games Students Want to Play
sets the record straight with regard to the promise of games for
motivating and teaching students in educational environments. The
authors draw on their experience designing the BiblioBouts
information literacy game, deploying it in dozens of college
classrooms across the country, and evaluating its effectiveness for
teaching students how to conduct library research. The multi-modal
evaluation of BiblioBouts involved qualitative and quantitative
data collection methods and analyses. Drawing on the evaluation,
the authors describe how students played this particular
information literacy game and make recommendations for the design
of future information literacy games. You ll learn how the game s
design evolved in response to student input and how students played
the game including their attitudes about playing games to develop
information literacy skills and concepts specifically and playing
educational games generally. The authors describe how students
benefited as a result of playing the game. Drawing from their own
first-hand experience, research, and networking, the authors
feature best practices that educators and game designers in LIS
specifically and other educational fields generally need to know so
that they build classroom games that students want to play. Best
practices topics covered include pre-game instruction, rewards,
feedback, the ability to review/change actions, ideal timing, and
more. The final section of the book covers important concepts for
future information literacy game design."
