Dungeons and Dragons in Education: A Usability Study

Abstract

When it comes to this generation of learners, challenges that often arise for educators are getting learners engaged, getting learners to process information, and getting learners to apply that information. Game-based learning has been seen as an effective tool for engaging students in these areas. A web-based resource website was developed for Dungeons and Dragons (D&D)in education for educators that are seeking a way to facilitate learning engagement and assess learning transfer. This paper focuses on the design and evaluation of a website about D&D in education. Feedback collected from six participants indicated that they felt the website was easy to navigate and felt satisfied with the site’s content and design.
