The Digital Bahnhof (DigiBahn) Project is an interdisciplinary software development initiative seeking to program a 3D digital game-based learning environment for the teaching of the German language, vocabulary, and culture to beginning university and advanced high school students. Specifically, the project will develop a 3D graphic adventure game requiring students to navigate a virtual German train station and environs while meeting specific instructional goals such as purchasing a train ticket, locating the appropriate track, making sense of arrival and departure tables, and interacting with non-player characters (NPCs).
