Digital games often represent various people, locations, events, and different cultures and their knowledge. However, there exists little research or guidance on how we might best represent different cultures and their knowledge in games and implement them for educational use.
Working with community collaboratively, Dr Loban combines interactive immersive media, design processes, cultural protocols, and pedagogy to enhance Indigenous and cultural education. His game design approach also encourages designers to be aware of built-in biases and to work closely with community to create deeper cultural representations. The outputs from these digital-cultural projects can improve cultural and STEM literacy through communicating valuable knowledges to users.
