“…Since its inception, the Wizard of Oz (WoZ) approach has been a cost-effective method for discovering system flaws and areas for improvement (Kelley, 1984). The WoZ technique has been a useful tool for researchers to refine human-computer interaction (Ahn et al, 2017;Ardito et al, 2009;Dahlbäck et al, 1993;Villano et al, 2011), and has started to be implemented in gaming applications (Bernhaupt et al, 2007;Höysniemi et al, 2004;Paiva et al, 2002). The effectiveness of the WoZ technique has been shown to be a valuable resource in improving the usability and learnability of different product interfaces (Akers, 2006), as well as user experience (Weiss et al, 2009).…”

To master the functions and tasks of a game, players must learn how to play the game. When conceptual learning outcomes are expected, additional skills are required to master those concepts. Methods, such as the Wizard of Oz technique, which require users to interact with a computer support tool, have been used to help improve usability and learnability of products and interfaces; however, little attention has been given to how these approaches may help with effective scaffolding with respect to constructionist game design tools. Students created research experiment games in StudyCrafter. We introduced a multiple-interaction technique of providing feedback via querying the “system” or instructor and found that students typically initiate interactions with support tools to address technical issues and rarely ask for assistance with conceptual support. We suggest that the use of this approach allows designers to better gauge how users interact with support and propose considerations for designing creativity support tools for educational content.
