Education faces huge challenges when it comes to engaging young generations. This applies especially to motivation and the initiative to learn. With the project SHADOWS we wanted to try out a game-based approach and see if it can help high school students achieve better learning results. The basic idea is to create a game that students can play together in which they fight back the darkness and answer a lot of questions in the process.
We also wanted to let teachers customize the game so that they can make sure that the learning content is relevant for their students. For this reason we developed a web-based editor which lets teachers do just that… they can select questions from our huge collection and they can also customize them or create their own questions.
Since SHADOWS is a project funded by the EU it is completely free to use and will stay that way. Try it out and let us know what you think!
