|
||||
This module serves as an introduction to how Roblox supports education. You'll learn what Roblox is as a platform, and how it can be used to promote creativity and 21st century skills.
|
||||
|
||||
By the end of this article, you will:
|
||||
|
||||
- Understand how Roblox is a platform that hosts games and virtual learning experiences.
|
||||
- Know what it means to run Roblox, such as costs and hardware.
|
||||
- Be able to articulate the unique advantages compared to other digital learning tools.
|
||||
|
||||
## What is Roblox?
|
||||
|
||||
You're probably here because you've heard about Roblox, and you have some questions. Such as, what is Roblox and how does it fit into my classroom?
|
||||
|
||||
### Overview
|
||||
|
||||
To start, Roblox is not a single game. It's a platform that hosts millions of user-generated **experiences**. Some examples include historical roleplaying games, or virtual labs to simulate physics experiments. Experiences are designed by Roblox users, who may be individual students or professional studios.
|
||||
|
||||
Three examples of experiences are included below.

|
||||
</Grid>
|
||||
</Grid>
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to playing experiences, students can create their own using **Roblox Studio**. Using project-based learning, students can collaborate with peers to design a historically accurate city, or learn computer science principles as they create their own 3D world.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
src="../../assets/education/legacy/module1-exampleStudio.jpg"
|
||||
width="100%" />
|
||||
|
||||
Whether a class is playing or designing experiences, we have free lesson plans to support you. Our lesson plans are flexible, with many options for different ages, subjects, or time periods, such as a 45 minute workshop or a semester. Additionally, teaching with Roblox is accessible to all educators. You don't need prior experience in coding or game development to design or play experiences on Roblox.
|
||||
|
||||
### Costs
|
||||
|
||||
On Roblox, it's **free** to play, create, and publish experiences. You don't need to pay licensing fees to use Roblox or to publish a student's project.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few optional features which are available for small fees paid in **Robux**, the currency used in all Roblox experiences. The most common expense for educators is a private server for playing online, which often averages about $1 (USD) per month. More information on private servers is covered later in the training.
|
||||

<AlertTitle>Purchasing Robux</AlertTitle>
|
||||
Robux can be purchased on Roblox.com or using physical gift cards found in grocery stores. Do not trust any other sources.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
### Software
|
||||
|
||||
Roblox is actually two software packages with different hardware requirements.

|
||||
|
||||
#### Common questions about software
|
||||
|
||||
**Roblox client plays all experiences**
|
||||
Installing the Roblox client allows you to play any experience on Roblox. Experiences do not have their own installations.
|
||||
|
||||
**More detail on hardware specifications**
|
||||
For more details such as supported graphics cards or unique mobile device questions, see the <a href="https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203312800-Computer-Hardware-Operating-System-Requirements">Hardware Requirements</a> page.
|
||||
|
||||
**Software Updates**
|
||||
Both the Roblox client and Studio require consistent internet access. Regular updates occur on a weekly basis. When the software does update, changes are often minor and do not disrupt curriculum.
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended ages
|
||||
|
||||
Roblox offers educational opportunities and challenges **for all ages**.
|
||||
|
||||
- For **students under 10**, there are virtual learning experiences, such as games to improve math skills or roleplay as dinosaurs.
|
||||
- **Older students** can find learning experiences for content such as physics or history. Additionally, they can work in Roblox Studio for project-based learning.
|
||||
|
||||
## Use Roblox to learn
|
||||
|
||||
<img
|
||||
src="../../assets/education/legacy/Twitterheader1500x500.jpg"
|
||||
width="100%" />
|
||||
|
||||
Students can primarily use Roblox to play or create. One method is using **virtual learning experiences** where students play on Roblox. They can go on virtual field trips, explore natural settings, and interact with simulations of real-world phenomena.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, Roblox can be used for **code and creation** with Roblox Studio. In Studio, students can design virtual environments or learn computer science with Luau, a text-based coding language similar to Python and Lua.
|
||||
|
||||
### Advantages of Roblox
|
||||
|
||||
**Roblox is free, accessible, and trusted by educators**
|
||||
|
||||
All the software and content for Roblox is free, whether you're a small coding camp or a large school district.
|
||||
|
||||
**Engage students and practice skills**
|
||||
|
||||
Widely popular among K-12 students, Roblox has unique opportunities for boosting classroom engagement.
|
||||
|
||||
- Engage students in subject-matter content such as history, or experience real-world concepts such as physics and the natural sciences.
|
||||
- Support creativity by allowing students to design their own projects, or further skill building as they improve critical thinking abilities.
|
||||
- Promote teamwork and communication as students interact in a multiplayer game world, or collaborate simultaneously on projects in Roblox Studio.
|
||||
|
||||
**We prioritize safety and privacy**
|
||||
|
||||
Roblox works with parents, educators, and digital safety experts to promote a welcoming environment for everyone. Our software includes features such as chat filters, private servers, and extensive content moderation. To learn more, and see information on compliance such as COPPA, see our <a href="https://corp.roblox.com/safety-civility-resources/">Safety</a> page.

## Create your account
|
||||
|
||||
To play and create on Roblox, you need a free account.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Create an account by signing up on the <a href="https://www.roblox.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Roblox Home Page</a>. Follow the prompts to create your account.
|
||||
2. To create an account, you may be asked to complete a **CAPTCHA**. These are timed challenges used to discourage people creating fake accounts. Challenges vary, but often ask you to find a specific object in an image.
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
<AlertTitle>CAPTCHAs and students</AlertTitle>
|
||||
Note that your students may have to accomplish CAPTCHA challenges when logging into accounts. Because of this, we encourage setting aside time for account log-ins at the start of class.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
## The Roblox home page
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've logged in, you'll see the Roblox home page. This includes recommended games and navigation options. Additionally, you'll see your username and a headshot of your **avatar**, your virtual representation in Roblox.
|
||||

<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
<AlertTitle>Customize avatars</AlertTitle>
|
||||
Many users enjoy customizing their avatar, changing it to be a realistic
|
||||
representation of themselves, or even becoming a fantasy character. Avatars are
|
||||
customized using avatar items in the <a

|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
Before moving onto the training experience, it's recommended you add an email to your account. This adds extra security to your account and ensures you don't get locked out if a password is forgotten.
|
||||
|
||||
1. On the Roblox home page, in the top right, click the gear icon and select **Settings**.
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../assets/education/legacy/module2-settings.png" />

## Learn Roblox client
|
||||
|
||||
With an account created, you'll now launch your first Roblox experience. The **What is Roblox? - Training Experience** is designed by the Roblox team to introduce educators how to play Roblox and feel comfortable on the platform.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can view the <a href="../../assets/education/legacy/Handout_-_Roblox_Client_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf">Roblox Platform Quick Start Guide</a>, a handout summarizing the interface and controls instead of joining the experience.
|
||||
|
||||
### Experience Pages
|
||||
|
||||
All Roblox experiences have their own page. This page includes a description and button used to open that specific experience in the Roblox client.
|
||||
|
||||
A sample page is below.
|
||||

<img src="../../assets/education/legacy/hero-classroomLab.jpg" width="100%" />
|
||||
|
||||
Setting up a Roblox classroom is a quick process that includes tasks like getting accounts and software ready. Note, while this article overviews these topics, an in-depth, guided checklist is at the end of the course.
|
||||
|
||||
By the end of this article, you will:
|
||||
|
||||
- Know the steps needed to create accounts and install Roblox on desired devices.
|
||||
- Understand how to find and share content relevant to learning objectives.
|
||||
|
||||
## Accounts and software
|
||||
|
||||
All Roblox accounts and software are **free**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Get accounts
|
||||
|
||||
Account registration is through a form that asks for basic information like a birthday. Names are not needed for sign-up. While emails aren't requested at signup, it's recommended to add one since forgotten passwords can only be recovered through email.
|
||||
|
||||
Each account grants that user full access to:
|
||||
|
||||
- Play experiences with the **Roblox client**.
|
||||
- Code and create experiences with **Roblox Studio**.
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
<AlertTitle>Accounts for students under 13</AlertTitle>
|
||||
If students list their age under 13, that account will have some restrictions.
|
||||
For instance, that student can only see curated games deemed appropriate by
|
||||
Roblox. For more information, see <a
|
||||
href="https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000375686">Account Restrictions</a>.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
### Accounts in the class
|
||||
|
||||
Every student and educator needs **their own** account. Compared to other educational tools, accounts are individual and not managed by an institution or person. Since Roblox is used for both home and school, we believe this system respects the privacy of our students.
|
||||
|
||||
When starting a Roblox class, keep in mind that accounts cannot be created in a batch. It's recommended students create accounts outside class. Also, plan to manage passwords, such as by using password manager software.
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
<AlertTitle>Managing passwords for younger students</AlertTitle>
|
||||
We understand that password management can be a challenge for younger students. To help, an educator can use software like <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/plans-and-pricing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LastPass</a> (offered free) to keep a central database of student account logins and passwords. Students can provide account information to you, where you store them to use if a student forgets.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
## Install software
|
||||
|
||||
Roblox is two software packages (client and Studio), each installed separately.
|
||||
|
||||
Software can be installed in two ways:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Individual installations per computer:** Install Roblox by downloading the software from a web browser on each device. Ideal for small classrooms, workshops, or small summer camps.
|
||||
- **Batch Installers:** Create a packaged installer that can be deployed on multiple computers using a USB drive or image. Ideal for schools or larger educational institutions.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information, see <a href="https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/204473560-How-to-Install-and-Play-Roblox-Using-Browser" target="_blank" rel="noopener">How to Install and Play Roblox</a>. These instructions will also be summarized at the end of the course.
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
<AlertTitle>File storage</AlertTitle>
|
||||
|
||||
Storing files is only relevant for students using Roblox Studio to develop experiences. In Roblox Studio, files can be saved locally (using the .RBXL format), or stored online on an account. Projects saved to a student's account can be accessed from any computer. There are no limitations in the number of projects or file size that can be stored online.
|
||||
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
## Find educational content
|
||||
|
||||
With accounts and software ready, the next step is to find relevant content. Whether it's playing experiences or designing projects, there are many options that align to educator needs.
|
||||
|
||||
### Virtual learning experiences
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../assets/education/legacy/knnoss-palace-example.jpg" width="80%" />
|
||||
|
||||
The Roblox platform hosts millions of pre-made experiences created by the
|
||||
community. In the Learn and Explore sort, curated by educators at Roblox,
|
||||
students can find historical roleplays, physics simulations, or creative
|
||||
building games.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<a href="https://www.roblox.com/discover#/sortName/Curated_67"
|
||||
target="_blank" rel="noopener"><Button variant="contained">Browse experiences</Button></a>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
### Code and creation
|
||||
|
||||
<img src="../../assets/education/legacy/module1-exampleStudio.jpg" width="80%" />
|
||||
|
||||
For educators interested in creation, students can build and code using Roblox Studio. Our content is developed for a variety of ages and subjects, such as digital citizenship or teaching computer science.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<a href="../../education/support/education-content.md"><Button variant="contained">Explore lessons</Button></a>
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
## Share content with students
|
||||
|
||||
### Virtual learning experiences
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have an experience, students can access it using a unique **hyperlink**. Links are sharable through email or a learning management system (e.g. Google Classroom).
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, when playing an experience, we recommend using a **private server**. Normally, playing Roblox means interacting with players across the world. Private servers are spaces that only include those you've permitted to join, like students. Each private server has its own shareable hyperlink that can be provided to students.
|
||||
|
||||
<Alert severity="info">
|
||||
Some private servers may have a **monthly** fee paid in Robux. That price is set by the developer of that experience and not Roblox. That fee often averages about 100 Robux ($1 USD) per month. Most educational experiences, though, include one free private server per
|
||||
user.
|
||||
</Alert>
|
||||
|
||||
### Code and creation
|
||||
|
||||
Students using Roblox Studio for projects are instructed by educators. Most of the assets, such as templates and 3D models, are already built into Studio. For teachers with specific needs, such as if you have a premade template to share, files can be shared locally to students.
|
||||
|
||||
## Communicate about Roblox
|
||||
|
||||
Before beginning a Roblox class, you may have questions from different people such as parents or administrators. Resources and printable brochures are included below.
|
||||
|
||||
### Parents

This module covers different aspects of running a class, like assessments and class management. Note that some parts may be more applicable based on your teaching situation.
|
||||
|
||||
By the end of this article, you will:
|
||||
|
||||
- Understand ways to assess or evaluate student progress.
|
||||
- Recognize optional learning tools, such as Live Collaboration or Private Servers.
|
||||
- Know where to find resources on digital civility and classroom management.
|
||||
|
||||
## Assessments and evaluation
|
||||
|
||||
As an educator, there are different ways to gauge student progress and understanding. Options are included for those playing experiences and designing them.
|
||||
|
||||
### Assess virtual learning experiences
|
||||
|
||||
Roblox has built-in tools that allow anyone to screenshots or record video. These media artifacts can then be integrated into existing assignments. For example, a student may make recordings of a historical shrine as evidence in an Asian history assignment. To learn about these options, see <a href="https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203314160-How-Do-I-Take-a-Screenshot-" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taking a Screenshot</a> or <a href="https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203314190" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Recording Videos</a>.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, some virtual learning experiences may have built-in assessments, such as quizzes. Some lesson plans on Roblox Education also have reflection questions, handouts, or quizzes.

|
||||
</figure>
|
||||
|
||||
### Assess code and creation
|
||||
|
||||
Projects created in Roblox Studio can be shared as local files or uploaded to the cloud. Uploading to the cloud allows projects to be shared through a hyperlink. An educator can then take that local file, or link, to evaluate a project. To view an example of how a Roblox Studio project can be evaluated, see the <a href="../../assets/education/legacy/Handout_-_Project_Rubric.pdf">Project-Based Rubric</a> handout.
|
||||
|
||||
### Quizzes and rubrics
|
||||
|
||||
Examples of traditional quizzes and rubrics are included from sample lessons
|
||||
below. Both are available to download and customize at the end of this course.

## Classroom tools
|
||||
|
||||
To make learning and teaching easier, there are optional features in Roblox. For example, students can build collaboratively in Roblox Studio.
|
||||
|
||||
A quick summary of each tool and use cases are below.
|
||||
|
||||
<table>
|
||||
<tbody>
|
||||

</td>
|
||||
</tr>
|
||||
</tbody>
|
||||
</table>
|
||||
|
||||
### Roblox chat
|
||||
|
||||
Most Roblox experiences offer basic chat features. These include:
|
||||
|
||||
- Being able to chat among all players in an experience server.
|
||||
- Send private messages to a specific player.
|
||||
- Mute/unmute specific players.
|
||||
- Create groups for chat between specific players.
|
||||

|
||||
variant="contained">Learn More</Button></a>
|
||||
|
||||
### Live collaboration
|
||||
|
||||
**Live Collaboration** allows the owner of a project to invite friends to join them in
|
||||
Roblox Studio to **collaboratively** build worlds or edit scripts together in
|
||||
real-time. Multiple students can work together to design an environment or solve
|
||||
a scripting exercise. This tool allows for shared projects or group-work in
|
||||
Studio.

|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
### Private servers
|
||||
|
||||
Normally, whenever a player enters a Roblox experience, they're in a public server. If desired, educators can create private servers which allow for control over who may join. Invites to play can be sent with hyperlinks which can be shared through email or a learning management system (like Google Classroom).

|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
### Groups
|
||||
|
||||
Groups are mini-communities that can be formed on the Roblox platform. Each group includes features like a member list with ranks and a "wall" to post announcements. For educators, groups can be used in classroom management posting links to experiences. Additionally, students can form their own groups as a way of collaboratively working on projects in Roblox Studio.

## Foster a positive culture
|
||||
|
||||
Over the years, we've developed teacher-tested resources to help foster supportive learning environments. Practices such as digital civility better prepare students for the online world.
|
||||
|
||||
### Teach digital civility
|
||||
|
||||
Digital civility is useful for all Roblox students. Our materials teach skills such as how to identify false or suspicious information, and how to treat others with kindness and respect.
