In this paper, we present an extension of our previously defined VGSCL (a reference model for educational game development incorporating collaborative activities), in which balanced ludic and educative contents were designed.
While under the non-digital solutions for K-12 education we find textbooks, course-materials and other products, such as educative toys and games.
Regarding non-digital solutions, we include textbooks, course packs and other supplementary materials, and various educative toys and games.
Visitors enjoyed a day-long programme of games and educative workshops for children.
It involves developing educational or training games which are implemented with sophisticated simulations and specific educative aims and contents (e.g., Arici & Barab, 2014; Iten & Petko, 2016; Tseleves et al. 2016; Tuzun & Ozdinc, 2016).
Users selecting the option "No, I am not from Tromsø" will be immediately selected for the Group A or control group (i.e., the educative web app, without the game-based appointment system).
Users answering, "Yes, I am from Tromsø" will be randomized either to the Group A, or to Group B (educative web app, including the game-based appointment system), with a 1 1 allocation ratio (See the study flowchart in Figure 3).
Thus the book is a story of education that confounds its own educative pattern.
On the impact of the game-based appointment system on how the users utilise the web app www.sjekkdeg.no, we expect that the number of visits to the educative components of sjekkdeg.no will increase, after the implementation of the game-based appointment system functionality.
