Abstract
Digital game-based assessments have been gaining popularity; however, there is often an imbalance between entertainment and educational game elements, yielding barriers for both students and teachers. This paper examines the development processes of an interactive game-based assessment, Raging Skies, in which learning tasks are purposefully embedded and integrated into the game’s design and framework so that specific knowledge and skill-based outcomes may be measured. This case study discusses some of the challenges and criticisms facing digital game-based assessments as outlined in the literature.
