Abstract

In this paper, we embedded authentic learning content into a themed board game and presented them by a set of educational equipment- Digital Learning Playground (DLP). DLP applied the idea of mixed reality that students interact to the simulative situations, and also remain some hand-on experience with realia. With this device, we build a digital board game and require students and the teacher to join in to yield the best learning environment- proper assistance and peer cooperation. The showing resulting data depicts that the students were highly engaged and satisfied with learning through a gaming flow. With respect to learning performance, the assessing data indicates an effective learning has been achieved.
