Digital Game Based Learning Product of the Year


By Sean Connick | Published: 18th September 2024


Welcome to this blog on another of our new categories for this year's Digital Education Awards. Today we are going to be looking at the Digital Game Based Learning Product of the Year category. 


But what is Digital Game Based Learning ? 


A Digital Game Based Learning product is a tool or platform that combines educational content with video game elements to create an interactive and engaging learning experience. These products use game mechanics such as challenges, levels, and rewards to teach or reinforce knowledge and skills in areas like math, science, language, or problem-solving. By making learning fun and immersive, Digital Game Based Learning product products help improve retention and motivation.


Gamification plays a crucial role in Digital Game Based Learning product products. It involves incorporating game elements—like points, badges, leaderboards, and timed challenges—into the learning process. Gamification boosts engagement by tapping into the competitive and reward-driven nature of learners, making the learning process more dynamic and encouraging continuous progress. This approach not only increases motivation but also enhances problem-solving and critical thinking skills through active participation.



What is required to apply to the Digital Game Based Learning Product of the Year category? 


You must have a product that meets the definition of Digital Game Based Learning as set out above. Your product should include elements of gamification and can be aimed at any age range. You should be able to provide a rationale about the market your product is aimed for and how you aim to fill that gap. It would also be useful to provide clear examples of how the incorporation of elements of gamification can improve the desired educational outcomes. To make your application standout, it is essential you provide examples of what success looks like for your product; this could be in the form of data or some other measurable information.
