Abstract

This chapter describes the design and development of a game that was created to teach undergraduate students concepts related to health literacy. A brief discussion of the nature of games and how and why they appeal to college students is followed by a synopsis of some of the literature that influenced the design of the game in 2005. The chapter goes on to describe the game in detail, including the learning objectives, gameplay elements, design challenges, and skills included. The chapter will conclude with a discussion of some evaluations that were done on the game and direction for future development.
