Mobile Games Based Learning

mGBL was a 3-year pan-European project that began in October 2005 and was supported by the European Commission (EC) Information Society Technologies (IST) programme within the Sixth Framework [5]. It set out to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of learning in young adults aged 16 - 24 through the development of innovative learning models based on mobile games. Ten partner organizations formed the consortium, from EC countries as diverse as Austria, Croatia, Italy, Slovenia and the UK.
When Oct 01, 2005 to
Sep 30, 2008

The core mission of the project was to design gripping mobile games that woud be fun to use and that could effectively engage young adults in developing decision-making skills and strategies for use in crisis situations. Ultimately it was expected people will want the option of creating their own mobile learning games easily and efficiently, so a platform and templates were developed for their use. Prototype game templates were created and example games developed in the fields of e-health, e-commerce and career guidance, areas where the mGBL consortium had particular strengths. However the templates themselves were ‘generic’ in design and therefore useful in a wider range of sectors.

Lewis Carroll describes a fictional map that had:

"the scale of a mile to the mile."

A character notes some practical difficulties with such a map and states that:

"we now use the country itself, as its own map, and I assure you it does nearly as well."
— Sylvie and Bruno Concluded, Lewis Carroll, 1893
