Piloting Gobee — what we learned from the first pilot of the gamified learning measurement tool
Since the beginning of the COVID pandemic we have seen a significant increase in the number of online tools and digital learning programmes being rolled out globally. With this increase comes a growing need to find adaptive ways of measuring the effectiveness of these interventions for children’s learning.
In response to this need, in 2020, War Child Holland, NYU Global TIES and the HEA came together, with the help of Porticus, to develop, test and pilot a gamified learning measurement tool that has the potential to measure both academic and social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. Through a process of collaborative design — which we wrote about in a previous blog — the team created Gobee: an interactive, fun, digital solution, providing real-time assessment data to teachers and programme implementers, which is accessible to learners wherever they are.
