Abstract
Games-based learning can increase the effectiveness of adult learning in various vocational domains such as Work Safety and Health (WSH). However, one of the key challenges in deploying games-based learning in a larger scale is the high costs of games development. Games development often requires specialized programming skills, and also content expertise from academic specialists. Our Rapid, Easy Authoring Platform for Serious Games (REAPSG) enables lecturers and trainers to create the games-based learning content on their own without the need for specialized programming skills.
