On the Exploration of Game-Based Learning in STEM Education with the Development and Application of Virtual Reality Course Modules

摘要

Game-Based-Learning is a powerful pedagogy that can effectively motivate and engage students in studying. With specifically designed computer games, Game-Based Learning (GBL) can create an enjoyable and engage learning experience for students. The emerging Virtual Reality (VR) technology in recent years can significantly improve such learning experience. In this paper, we present our GBL practice in STEM education through the development and integration of VR-based GBL modules into the engineering curriculum. The feedback from students, the GBL module can effectively improve the learning experience for users. This work is part of an on-going project sponsored by the DoED. More advanced GBL modules with fascinating features will be developed in future.
