ProsocialLearn: A Prosocial Games Marketplace

Abstract

ProsocialLearn is a digital pro-social games platform. The ProsocialLearn project has delivered a series of disruptive innovations for the production and distribution of pro-social digital games that engage children (7-10 years old). Additionally it has stimulated technology transfer from the games industry to the educational sector. ProsocialLearn fosters the creation of a new market for digital games aimed at increasing social inclusion and academic performance, as well as a distribution channel to deliver prosocial games to children and teachers in European schools. Furthermore, it provides a proven pro-social methodology to design digital games. The ProsocialLearn platform makes available a series of APIs, which game developers use to integrate many of the ProsocialLearn functions into games, i.e. emotion and engagement monitoring, in-game achievements, games adaptation based on Prosocial Learning Objectives (PLOs), and micro-transactions.
