Siozos, Panagiotis; Palaigeorgiou, George; Triantafyllakos, George; Despotakis, Theofanis – Computers & Education, 2009
In this paper, we identify key challenges faced by computer-based assessment (CBA) in secondary education and we put forward a framework of design considerations: design with the students and teachers, select the most appropriate media platform and plan an evolution rather than a revolution of prior practices. We present the CBA application…

Hong, Jon-Chao; Hwang, Ming-Yueh; Lu, Chin-Hsieh; Cheng, Ching-Ling; Lee, Yu-Chen; Lin, Chan-Li – Interactive Learning Environments, 2009
Playfulness steering is an emerging approach in educational game design and play. The integration of arithmetical computation, game strategy, and teamwork into one game allows players to interactively "steer" the playfulness and enhance learning. In this paper an evolutionary contest game was designed and implemented to examine the…
