cognitika

An NGO partner for educational games.

Cognitika joins education projects as coordinator or consortium member and takes responsibility for the game, from learning outcome to tested release.

Role

Cognitika carries the game from the first design to its release.

We turn learning outcomes into mechanisms, build each version and test it with subject matter experts and the intended learners.

For every project, we assemble the team it requires from a network of specialists.

Process

Four principles guide each project.

Goal
The learning outcome sets the direction for the whole game. Every mechanism is designed and measured against it.
Core loop
The challenge teaches and the feedback makes it stick. We build the lesson into that cycle and iterate until it holds.
Rules
Well-designed rules sustain play and make practice worth repeating. Calibration continues until both conditions are met.
Playtesting
Subject matter experts and the intended learners test every version. Each round brings the game closer to its learning outcome.

Formats

The medium matters less than the design.

In each one, the learning outcome leads. Need another format? We design for that one too.

Extended reality
Immersive practice for hazardous or costly skills.
Mobile
On the device each learner already carries.
Web & desktop
Delivered in the browser or as a desktop application.
Board games
Learning through interaction between people.

Results

Each game is a project result, released under an open licence.

At the end of each project, the source code and design documents are handed over to the consortium.
