A lot of related research proved that digital game is effective in children’s learning. However it will take a big amount of effort and material to complete a digital game, a man can’t do it all by himself. Furthermore it is beyond school teacher’s ability. For the purpose of reducing the workload of game design, the thesis proposes a digital and modular design scheme of vertical organized learning in RPG game. The digital and modular design scheme is proposed and included to design each step of game which corresponds to each teaching step or strategy and then complete a single learning game module. Each single learning game module can be linked together to become a large-scale learning game module which corresponds to vertical organized learning. Every designer such as a teacher just has to design small-scale game modules. Individual single or large-scale learning game modules are integrated in an RPG game without remodifying the whole game.
Recent math game designs are usually test or evaluation after class, students have to learn main concepts or knowledge in class first. The research take elementary school curriculum as content to construct several role-playing learning game module and organize them vertically by teaching sequence. After 58 fifth-grade elementary school novice students play the vertically organized math modular game, we find students have 23.08% improvement in average in posttest compared to pretest, 18.41% improvement in average in delayed-test compared to pretest. 65.5% students feel the modular learning game interesting.
