Abstrakt: Computer and video games have established themselves in society. For example, around 30.4 million Germans play at least occasionally, including 30 percent of 10- to 29-year-olds and 30 percent of 30- to 49-year-olds. Therefore, schoolchildren and students are very familiar with the medium. Learning content presented in game form builds on these experiences. Game-Based Learning Units (GBLU) can support the learning process in many ways. Numerous educational institutions now use digital learning systems in their teaching anyway. GBLUs should be able to be integrated as entirely and seamlessly as possible into the existing digital learning systems. The work aims to develop a prototypical GBLU while using a Game-Based Learning Framework (GBLF). The research goal is to provide a prototypical GBLU and integrate it with an existing Learning Management System (LMS). For this purpose, a 2D-Jump'n'Run game (which refers to a game genre in which the character moves in a two-dimensional environment) is developed. The used LMS will be integrated in the Knowledge Management Ecosystem Portal (KM-EP), and the connection is made by using the Learning Tool Interoperability (LTI). However, the GBLUs created in this way should also be as easy as possible for users to use. This includes the integration into an LMS, the configuration, and, ultimately, the playout to support the learning process itself. The paper presents the conceptual considerations for integrating the GBLU and the usage of the GBLF. Furthermore, the proof of concept implementation of the mentioned systems and the evaluation are presented. The usability of the concept was demonstrated by realizing and evaluating it using a Cognitive Walkthrough (CW) in a prototypical learning unit. The CW resulted in improvements and renewal for future work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
