Description¶

The strategy is designing a minimal, simple exposure prompt that nudges learners toward a pedagogical goal while "maintaining freedom of learner creativity and minimizing instructor intrusion". The editorial reports instructors "can easily employ MEP scripts as part of a multiplayer classroom by distilling a key pedagogical point down to its essence within a prompt", grounded in role-playing game practice theory for designing low-cost scripts.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• The prompt must distill a key pedagogical point down to its essence

Constraints¶

• Designed to minimize instructor intrusion and maintain learner creativity

Target Learners¶

• online and blended higher-education students in business role-play simulations

Target Learning Goals¶

• socially shared regulation of learning: planning, goal setting, monitoring

Claims¶

• Simple, targeted mere exposure prompt (MEP) scripts show promise for promoting desirable learning behaviors in a fully online multiplayer role-play classroom [+W]
