Interactive games and digital simulations are incredibly powerful tools for learning, but designing them requires a careful balance of playability and educational value. This written course guides you through the core principles of creating engaging digital experiences that inform, educate, and inspire. You will transition from a curious learner to a simulation designer, understanding how to construct rules, feedback loops, and scenarios that drive meaningful learning outcomes. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational theories of play, motivation, and game-based learning; Design core game mechanics and simulation rules that align with educational goals; Create compelling narrative structures and scenarios for exploration and decision-making; Apply modern feedback loops and progression systems to keep learners engaged; Analyze player behavior and iterate on design based on playtesting principles; Address accessibility and inclusivity in educational design. The course starts with essential terminology and the psychology of play before moving into practical game mechanics, scenario design, and modern evaluation frameworks. You will read through real-world design patterns and complete written exercises to build your first simulation concept. This course is perfect for aspiring game designers, educators, instructional designers, and curious beginners with no prior programming or design experience.
