EDArcade: Learning Through Gaming
EDArcade Supports Learning Through Rewards and Motivation
The EDArcade module is a dedicated area within EDClass designed to enhance student engagement and reinforce learning through fun and interactive games and puzzles.
Think of it as a digital arcade specifically created to support the topics and themes your students are already encountering in their curriculum lessons.
The games, interactive quizzes and puzzles within EDArcade aren’t just for entertainment; they are carefully selected and have been custom-built to align with specific learning objectives across various subjects.
A key feature of EDArcade is its integration with a reward system. As students successfully complete games and puzzles, they can earn points, coins, virtual badges, and unlock new levels within the arcade.
This provides an extrinsic motivator, encouraging them to engage with the learning content in a fun and rewarding way. This gamified approach can boost motivation, increase time-on-task, and make learning more enjoyable.
It can also provide a vital break in learning where the student is still learning and they are recorded, observed and supported by our EDSupport, EDNurture and EDSafe staff who work with your students whilst within EDArcade.
Challenging Students Through Games and Puzzles
EDArcade offers a diverse range of games and puzzles designed to challenge students at different levels.
Control and Accessibility
It’s important to note that the EDArcade module is not automatically accessible to students during their regular lesson times unless your establishment chooses to enable it.
This gives you complete control over when and how students can access these games. You might choose to make it available as a reward, during designated “fun learning” periods, or as an optional extension activity. Or you might choose to allow it within their sessions to motivate them.
Comprehensive Tracking and Reporting
The EDClass platform provides detailed tracking of all activity within the EDArcade. Every point earned, every click made, every attempt, and every answer submitted is recorded.
This provides valuable data on student engagement with the supplementary learning content, identifies areas where they might be excelling or struggling, and can inform your overall understanding of their learning journey.
