Spongelab has recently launched its new website dedicated to STEM Serious Games: Spongelab – A Global Science Community.
The new website is an open platform for content developers. All users can create lesson plans, connect video links, create case studies and add assessment questions.
For these activities you're awarded Spongelab credits and experience points. The New Spongelab Site is a Serious Game itself!
Gain credits and experience points for everything you do: playing Serious Games to creating classes – everything earns you points. Unlock badges; find secrets and level-up to become a Spongelab Master!
Through the new site users can search or browse for content, add what they like to a ‘Play List,’ and create multiple playlists that are called ‘lessons’ and those lessons can be shared with other Spongelab users.
Once others are using the lessons you created, you can see all the metrics on how they are performing and the quality of their engagement!
