Abstract: Research shows the potential of computer games, including mobile games, to promote learning in young adults. The 3-year EC-supported project mobile Game-Based Learning (mG-BL) will prototype a platform for the cost- and time-efficient development and deployment of mobile learning games. These will be strategy games that can support young adults in developing decision-making skills for crisis situations. At least two types of game model will be designed.Example implementations will be in the fields of e-health, e-commerce and career guidance. This short paper outlines the theory-based development of a Classification of mobile games that has been an important first step in the mG-BL gamesdesign process and highlights emerging findings of underpinning field research.

Abstract: Tough challenges face Higher Education in a knowledge-based, net-centric economy as we gear up to meet the pressures of global competition. New perspectives are needed in catering for the needs and interests of learners who have grown up in a digital age. Increasingly schools, colleges and universities are harnessing mobile technologies and the Internet to support learning. At the same time research findings indicate the motivating potential and possible learning gains of games played on mobile devices with young adult audiences. Arguably therefore the ‘mobile learning’ approach (m-learning) needs to be extended to include use of mobile learning games. The 3-year EC-funded project mG-BL (mobile Game-based Learning) is a practical response to that need.

The 3-year EC-funded project mGBL (mobile Game-based Learning) will prototype a platform and tools for the cost- and time-efficient development and deployment of mobile learning games. At least two types of game template will be designed. These will be for strategy games that can support the development of decisionmaking skills for crisis situations. Example games will be developed in the fields of e-health, e-commerce and career guidance. This short paper outlines project development stages and identifies issues emerging during the exploratory phase of the design process. No publisher amitchell 2006-10-31T21:44:55Z File http://www.naec.org.uk/ultralab/ww3/publications/icl-2006.pdf A growing body of research indicates that mobile technologies can be effective tools in catering for students in a digital age and there are signs of the motivating potential and possible learning gains of games played on mobile devices with young adult audiences. The 3-year EC-funded project mobile Game-based Learning (mGBL) therefore seeks todesign new learning models based on mobile games. These will be standards-based for use in blended learning programmes. Specifically we aim to support development of decision-making skills and strategies for crisis situations – a priority concern of the European Community. Our vision is for great games that can effectively engage youngpeople and that exemplify best practice – but what exactly is this in the new field? Thispaper considers a pedagogical framework for mGBL that also addresses emerging ethical and legal issues.
