Abstract: | How to Fail Your Research Degree is an educational (non-digital) game, created to deliver knowledge and understanding of research processes and techniques. Development was in relation to the concepts of encouraging creativity and risk-taking within a safe game environment and of learning by (potentially) failing. Game characteristics and intended learning outcomes were defined, leading to game mechanics and text that emphasise player agency, working within a time limit, and humour. Evaluation shows that the game is highly successful at delivering the intended learning outcomes and is a memorable and enjoyable complement to courses teaching research skills. |
