Designing Games with Assessment in Mind: Diverse Processes of Integrating Design Thinking with Evidence-Centered Design

Each year many papers are presented at GLS discussing the role of assessment in game design and the methods by which different games intend to support and measure educationally valuable knowledge and skills.

This Symposium aims to discuss and synthesize different processes and methods beyond ECD that are currently being applied by different groups.
