Abstract

The concept of mini-games has long been associated with small uninspired games found in conventional Computer Based Training (CBT). They have traditionally been made up of simple quizzes or matching games that have done little to engage the players in the learning event. This, however, is no longer the case. With advances in mini-game design paradigms, mini-games have become an effective means to engage learners with a specific learning objective both standalone and in the context of a greater training application. This work will explore educational and training mini-game development within Defense Acquisition University (DAU), National Science Foundation (NSF), and others.
