One of the main goals of the platform is to provide a user-friendly authoring environmen for creating virtual environments where students can perform authentic tasks. Aim . We present the findings of an in-depth qualitative case study of the platform's authoring environmen and compare our findings on usability with those found for comparable environments in literature. Method . We carried out semi-structured interviews, with two experienced game developers who have authored a game for higher education, and a literature review of comparable environments. Findings . The analysis shows that the usability of the authoring environmen is problematic, especially regarding understandability and learnability , which is in line with findings of comparable environments.
