What are the research paradigms and areas of expertise represented within Kaleidoscope?

1. Game-based Learning

There is an ongoing research interest in the educational potential of computer games and the ways games can facilitate learning either in formal or informal ways. The term 'game-based learning' has been introduced to describe the forms of learning 'accomplished' through the process of playing games. This research area is represented within Kaleidoscope by the "Learning Patterns for the Design and Deployment of Mathematical Games" joint activity (http://lp.noe-kaleidoscope.org)
