Hernández-Pérez, Manuel; Pérez-Sirvent, Carmen; Martínez Sánchez, María-José; Jordán González, Esteban – Applied Environmental Education and Communication, 2023
LIFE-AMDRYC4 (2021) is a VR application designed for mobile phones combining informational design and gamification to stimulate critical reflection and awareness about agricultural practices and their effects on the environment. Agile production frameworks and researchers' input in the design are discussed. A Likert-based questionnaire was…

Nagorsnick, Marian; Martens, Alke – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2015
In modern video games, music can come in different shapes: it can be developed on a very high compositional level, with sophisticated sound elements like in professional film music; it can be developed on a very coarse level, underlying special situations (like danger or attack); it can also be automatically generated by sound engines. However, in…

Gregorcic, Bor; Bodin, Madelen – Physics Teacher, 2017
Algodoo (http://www.algodoo.com) is a digital sandbox for physics 2D simulations. It allows students and teachers to easily create simulated "scenes" and explore physics through a user-friendly and visually attractive interface. In this paper, we present different ways in which students and teachers can use Algodoo to visualize and solve…

Baratè, Adriano; Ludovico, Luca Andrea; Mangione, Giuseppina Rita; Rosa, Alessia – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2015
In this work we will introduce the concept of "music coding," namely a new discipline that employs basic music activities and simplified languages to teach the computational way of thinking to musically-untrained children who attend the primary school. In this context, music represents both a mean and a goal: in fact, from one side…

Farrell, David; Moffat, David C. – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2014
For any given Game Based Learning (GBL) project to be successful, the player must learn something. Designers may base their work on pedagogical research, but actual game design is still largely driven by intuition. People are famously poor at unsupported methodical thinking and relying so much on instinct is an obvious weak point in GBL design…

Turkay, Selen; Hoffman, Daniel; Kinzer, Charles K.; Chantes, Pantiphar; Vicari, Christopher – Computers in the Schools, 2014
Researchers have argued that an effort should be made to raise teachers' and parents' awareness of the potentially positive educational benefits of playing video games (e.g., see Baek, 2008). One part of this effort should be to increase understanding of how video games can be situated within teachers' existing goals and knowledge…

Jong, J-T.; Hong, J-C.; Yen, C-Y. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2013
The different designs of various interactive gaming controllers affect posture and muscle loading of the body. It is assumed that prolonged exposure to the interactive gaming controllers can affect the effectiveness in using the game for the purposes of learning. This study explores the differences in behavioural responses among students with…

Martin-SanJose, Juan-Fernando; Juan, M. -Carmen; Mollá, Ramón; Vivó, Roberto – Interactive Learning Environments, 2017
Advanced displays and natural user interfaces (NUI) are a very suitable combination for developing systems to provide an enhanced and richer user experience. This combination can be appropriate in several fields and has not been extensively exploited. One of the fields that this combination is especially suitable for is education. Nowadays,…

van der Ven, Sanne H. G.; Klaiber, Jonathan D.; van der Maas, Han L. J. – Educational Psychology, 2017
Writing down spoken number words (transcoding) is an ability that is predictive of math performance and related to working memory ability. We analysed these relationships in a large sample of over 25,000 children, from kindergarten to the end of primary school, who solved transcoding items with a computer adaptive system. Furthermore, we…

Ku, D. T.; Huang, Y.-H.; Hus, S. C. – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2015
This study investigated how the integration of a game-based learning strategy and a tangible user interface (TUI) device improves the learning achievement of fifth-grade students in studying Chinese idioms. By using the sifting, and sorting, features of Sifteo Cubes, learners, via a gaming situation, manually composed the cubes to the correct…

Agudo, J. Enrique; Rico, Mercedes; Sánchez, Héctor – Digital Education Review, 2015
Based on the assumption that educational software addressing Primary school learners must comprise a set of features to encourage children's creativity and development, the appropriate design of second language hypermedia adaptive games for Primary School children can pose a wide range of challenges both for the language teacher and computer…

Silva, Greis F. Mireya; Salgado, Luciana Cardoso de Castro; Suplino, Maryse; Raposo, Alberto Barbosa – Themes in Science and Technology Education, 2014
Collaborative multitouch applications have been designed to support social interaction and collaboration skills in people with mild autism. However, this kind of application generally is not designed specifically for people with severe autism. We have proposed a set of collaborative strategies to manipulate the elements in the interface aiming to…

Tang, Stephen; Hanneghan, Martin; Carter, Christopher – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2013
Game-based learning (GBL) combines pedagogy and interactive entertainment to create a virtual learning environment in an effort to motivate and regain the interest of a new generation of "digital native" learners. However, this approach is impeded by the limited availability of suitable "serious" games and high-level design…

Ghergulescu, Ioana; Muntean, Cristina Hava – International Journal of Artificial Intelligence in Education, 2016
Engagement influences participation, progression and retention in game-based e-learning (GBeL). Therefore, GBeL systems should engage the players in order to support them to maximize their learning outcomes, and provide the players with adequate feedback to maintain their motivation. Innovative engagement monitoring solutions based on players'…

Chen, Cheng-Ping; Shih, Ju-Ling; Ma, Yi-Chun – Educational Technology & Society, 2014
In the past ten years, mobile learning (m-learning) has created a new learning environment that enables learners, through active learning aids. Instructional pervasive gaming (IPG) seems to be an innovative way introduced to enhance m-learning. This study employed a theoretical IPG model to construct a cultural-based pervasive game. Individual and…
