What are the different types of location-based edutainment?
Edutainment in LBEs can be organized in different ways, depending. We have classified the various types of LBE edutainment as follows: • Interactive & Participatory • Open-ended & Immersive (play) • Structured (participatory games) • Scripted (mazes) • Non-interactive & Spectator • Seated & Scripted (movie, play or science show) • Explorative • Scripted (aquarium, some museums) • Free-choice (zoos, some museums) Some venues offer combinations or hybrids of these categories. For example, an aquarium (spectator, non-interactive and explorative) might also offer a movie (seated and scripted) and a touching pool (interactive and scripted). Some attractions can be pure entertainment or changed to become edutainment. A maze can be pure fun and entertainment, or it can be overlaid with a storyline, theme and learning stations, making it an educational game. All of the categories of edutainment described above are either structured or scripted with the exception of one – open-ended, non-rule-i
