Research• Siegler (1999): good, no-so-good, perfectionists
– Strategy selection (common numerator, complement, benchmark)– Perfectionists need time pressure– Number sense
• Need to prevent shallow learning

Design for Experimentation
• Items read from XML at runtime• Various parameters in XML [speeds, etc.]• Pluggable
– Images– Feedback
• In-game• Post-game
– scoring
• Open source (HTML/Javascript)

Measuring Learning
Improvement within game is not enough• Transfer
– To different game, same concepts– To cognitive tutor (problem solving)– To external measures (tests)
• Retention• Accelerated Future Learning• Desire for Future Learning
