Abstract

The Secrets of Biblioland (http://www.biblioland.org) is a Flash-based educational interactive game designed to support university students in developing academic information literacy skills. The game is also intended to instigate a sense of belonging to the academic community, and to develop awareness of the historical value of academic work and the role of new generations in the interpretation and preservation of knowledge repositories. The game is designed to be embedded in a blended learning approach to information literacy; students and tutors should use it to explore the historical development of scholarship, issues on the role of libraries and information, as well as referencing and plagiarism, using the gaming elements but also the online materials available via the website. The choice of developing a Flash game is linked to accessibility and usability issues, as the game should be playable by a wide audience. The illustration and game design styles are also meant to address an audience of casual gamers (Juul 2010) and do not have the ambition of emulating or competing with commercial platform games.
