Before diving into building a Serious Game it is a good idea to take a step back and review the best practices of doing so. In this infographic we go through the best practices in instructional design of Serious Games.
1. Clear ObjectiveKnow your objective before you start. Know how that objective translates into learning outcomes and breaks down into teachable elements. If you don’t know where you want to end up, you can’t come up with a successful way to get there.
2. Sound Educational TheorySound effects and bright colors do not an educational game make. Fun and engagement are important, but games that don’t follow educational theory won’t teach and won’t meet objectives.
