Games are ideal environments for in-the-process-of-learning assessments because they can assess player skills through simulation and give feedback through adaptive support and leveling-up mechanisms.
Whether digital or analog, educational library games can be ideal environments for in-the-process-of-learning assessments. Through a game, the librarian can assess players’ skills through their performance in authentic simulations and give feedback through adaptive support and leveling-up mechanisms. This presentation will show how the theory of game-based learning aligns with that of formative assessment and give several examples from tried-and-true library games. While the presenter’s examples are from an academic library perspective, the content of this presentation will also be applicable to home-grown game programs at public libraries as well.
