The (Tentative) Assessment Framework QuestionsGRAND Assessment Framework';this.style.color = '#ff0000';" onMouseOut = "this.innerHTML = '(Tentative) Assessment Framework QuestionsGRAND Assessment Framework';this.style.color = '#000000';">(Tentative) Assessment Framework QuestionsGRAND Assessment Framework is an iterative assessment framework designed by the University of Alberta GRAND group. The framework starts with the assumption that the group research project involves practical game design, and continues by attempting to ask the most significant over-arching questions.

Use these question categories in the process of answering your own questions relevant to a specific project.Fill in category sub-questions as best you can, add your own or skip questions as needed.The framework is intended to help game designers and researchers articulate their points (and what those points are in the first place), create a foundation for further work, and to suggest a set of possible methods for that may be of use during that particular part of the design process. Fill in category sub-questions as best you can, and add your own or skip questions as needed.

        • *(I think this document is supposed to be less a 'how to' guide and more of a check list/framework for doing the theoretical and technical research and implementation. Perhaps we can start a page of solid design 'how to' resources elsewhere on the wiki)8.4 Have you communicated to all interested parties that the project is over?
