Gyuri Byun, Jewoong Moon, Chen Sun · 2024
This work-in-progress paper proposes the design of constructionist gaming within the Roblox 3D platform to teach CT among undergraduates. We introduce a learning system framework that combines Roblox with custom plugins for enriched game-making activities. This approach is designed to foster seamless learning experiences, extend education beyond traditional classrooms, and promote skills in problem-solving and collaboration. By leveraging Roblox's immersive environment, the study aims to design a dynamic platform for active learning and skill development, offering insights into the effectiveness of constructionist gaming in educational settings.
