Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present a game based application constructed for the School of Law at the University of Westminster, London. The application is to be used for teaching purposes and is based on a hypothetical scenario. The paper discusses the challenges of designing game based applications for teaching Law and proposes some design solutions. The `Articulate Storyline´ e-learning authoring software was used for the implementation. The application can be accessed in any internet connected device and it is offered as an offline app for ipads via the `Articulate Mobile Player´.
