Design and Development of Educational Game Using ARCS Model

Design and development of an educational game for children with special educational needs (SENs) is presented in this paper. The study combined the Attention–Relevance–Confidence–Satisfaction (ARCS) motivation model with a game design model to develop a user interface through which learners can control learning objects using their physical movements. The validation of the design was done using the quality assessment instrument called LORI (Learning Object Review Instrument). A descriptive analysis is presented, and conclusions are drawn.
