•We would like to use engaging learning games in class
•How do we design them?
•How do we assure that they are both instructive and engaging?

Method: casebased action research
•Case: how to design a music learning game, that teaches children to play piano, using sheet music, and at the same time is fun and engaging
•Model developed through dual approach: Analytical and exploratory
Analytical: theoretical and empirical analyses:•Designs for learning, learning theory, educational games, motivation,
and engagement in games
Exploratory: deepen the problem area•Concept development/ prototypes, Userinvolvement

Construction of prototypes from the teoretical model
Test of the prototypes with users
Empirical Findings - Three types of observations:
•Observation of new phenomena •Conflictingobservations•Confirmatoryobservations
- Compared to the theoretical constructed prototypes
Exploratory part
