This investigation examined how to support students in creating learning designs for specific learning goals into analogue and digital games as a mean of learning. The study also explored what learning trajectories emerged in the students-learning-game-designers digital games. The DBR study was developed through three iterations over two years involving teachers and students in co-design processes. Together with the teachers an overall gamified learning design supported the learning process for students by inviting them to be their own learning designers through designing digital learning games for specific learning goals in cross-disciplinary subject matters. The findings were that the students succeeded in developing and implementing specific learning goals in their games. They also developed learning trajectories through the games by designing various learning and evaluation opportunities for the player/learner playing the game.This investigation examined how to support students in creating learning designs for specific learning goals in analogue and digital games as a means of learning.
