Game design is a complex process based on balance between educational and gameplay experience in a coherent way. In the context of instructional design, Constructive Alignment aims to develop an outcome-based approach for designing learning activities during which learner engagement, through the activity, is aligned with learning objectives and outcomes. Hence, Constructive Alignment focuses on the proposal of constructively aligned learning experiences, where assessment is the result of specially selected training activities, which are proposed based on intended learning outcomes. In this study, the impact of an online MSc course on game design from a Constructive Alignment approach is assessed. Constructive Alignment in game design is approached as the coherence between Learning Objectives, Game Mechanics, Learning Mechanics and the Assessment in the educational Digital Game Based Learning. The results analysis shows that the Game Based Learning course had a positive impact on students regarding the proposal of game design documents with coherence between Game Mechanics and Learning Mechanics as well as Learning Mechanics and Learning Objectives, while little focus on integrating Assessment mechanisms was observed. Based on the results of this study an increase in focus on assessment in the process of game design is proposed.
