CIRCA:Assessment Framework
From CIRCA
The GRAND 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.
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.
- CIRCA:Methods_for_Game_Design (literature review section)
- Game Design Taxonomy contains a list of terms that various people have coined for analyzing and classifying games.
- While this document is being composed, the compact list of questions (also under construction) to ask when starting group research projects with a practical game design component can be found on its own page.
Use these question categories in the process of answering your own questions relevant to a specific project.
