An authoring toolkit design for educational game content

A new way of teaching using multimedia presentations or game-based technologies are urgently needed in order to engage and sustain students’ learning interests in their learning materials. To achieve that, teachers should be able to produce interactive multimedia learning materials (e.g. educational games) themselves. However, current authoring tools such as Adobe Flash and Macromedia Director are too complex to use by teachers with no computing backgrounds. We would like to address this issue by proposing a simple to use authoring toolkit that will enable teachers to create their own educational game contents. The proposed toolkit operates by using games templates i.e. akin to producing presentation slides using Microsoft Power Point. In this paper, we present the framework in designing such toolkit. Based on this framework, an authoring tool will be developed to enable teachers in Malaysia to author educational game content for teaching basic Jawi words for the primary school children.
