dc.description.abstract | This report investigates using a web-based board game to teach undergraduate students where to start their library research, how to build on a good start, how to evaluate what they find, and how to use a library's many online research and discovery tools. The report describes the design and development of the web-based game and an evaluation of the game that enlisted over 6 dozen students in a University of Michigan undergraduate class. Recommendations are given for the enhancement of this web-based board game, for the design of comparable information literacy games, and for the design of games in educational settings generally. | en_US |
