The design for Quest to Learn, an innovative school in New York
City that offers a "game-like" approach to learning. Quest to
Learn, an innovative school for grades 6 to 12 in New York City,
grew out of the idea that gaming and game design offer a promising
new paradigm for curriculum and learning. The designers of Quest to
Learn developed an approach to learning that draws from what games
do best: drop kids into inquiry-based, complex problem spaces that
are built to help players understand how they are doing, what they
need to work on, and where to go next. Content is not treated as
dry information but as a living resource; students are encouraged
to interact with the larger world in ways that feel relevant,
exciting, and empowering. Quest to Learn opened in the fall of 2009
with 76 sixth graders. In their first semester, these students
learned-among other things-to convert fractions into decimals in
order to break a piece of code found in a library book; to use
atlases and read maps to create a location guide for a reality
television series; and to create video tutorials for a hapless
group of fictional inventors. This research and development
document outlines the learning framework for the school, making the
original design available to others in the field. Elements in
development include a detailed curriculum map, a budget, and
samples of student and teacher handbooks.
