Fox, Kaitlyn; Whitehead, Anthony – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2011
Purpose: In the authors' experience, the biggest issue with pose-based exergames is the difficulty in effectively communicating a three-dimensional pose to a user to facilitate a thorough understanding for accurate pose replication. The purpose of this paper is to examine options for pose presentation. Design/methodology/approach: The authors…

Learning Management Systems: Coupled Simulations and Assessments in a Digital Systems Course
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Wuttke, Heinz-Dietrich; Henke, Karsten – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2009
Purpose: The content, provided in learning management systems (LMS), is often text oriented as in a usual textbook, extended by some animations and links. Hands on activities and experiments are not possible. The paper aims to give an overview about the concept to couple smart simulation and assessment tools with an LMS to provide a more…

Scarlatos, Lori L. – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2006
Educators recognize that group work and physical involvement with learning materials can greatly enhance the understanding and retention of difficult concepts. As a result, math manipulatives--such as pattern blocks and number lines--have increasingly been making their way into classrooms and children's museums. Yet without the constant guidance…

A Serious Game for Traffic Accident Investigators
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Binsubaih, Ahmed; Maddock, Steve; Romano, Daniela – Interactive Technology and Smart Education, 2006
In Dubai, traffic accidents kill one person every 37 hours and injure one person every 3 hours. Novice traffic accident investigators in the Dubai police force are expected to "learn by doing" in this intense environment. Currently, they use no alternative to the real world in order to practice. This paper argues for the use of an…
