Learning with games – New game activity module released for Moodle.

 

A new game module has been developed by Vasilis Daloukas as an activity module for Moodle which has stirred up a lot of interest since its release. The module includes seven different games (Hangman, cross word mystery, Cryptex, Who wants to be a millionaire, Sudoku, Snakes and Ladders and Question book). The games are driven using either the glossary or question categories and/or existing test in Moodle. Its popularity has largely been driven by the demand for creating learning material that motivates and stimulates the learning process. All games have been fully integrated with moodle and are automatically evaluated by the platform. This means that participant as well as teachers and administrators can take full advantage of the statistics collected by the platform to review individual and group performance after the games.

 

The module has already been made available in various versions of Moodle as an update, which shows that general interest within the moodle community is rising. Many of the smaller errors, which are common among newly developed modules have already been solved.
