Abstract

Information literacy (IL) has been of growing concern in education, at the workplace, and in daily life. The need for IL is also important for students, especially university students, as they routinely search for and synthesize information from multiple sources for various knowledge-intensive tasks such as writing a term paper. Given the infeasibility of face-to-face presentations to more than a fraction of students, digital technologies present an opportunity for librarians to reinvent the delivery of library services. Thus this study aims to design a digital IL game, by using participatory design approach. The data collected from the participatory designworkshop were analyzed based on GameFlow Model, and the result of one prototype is described. Implications of our work on game design are also discussed.
