Verma, Vipin; Craig, Scotty D.; Levy, Roy; Bansal, Ajay; Amresh, Ashish – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Detection and responding to a player's affect are important for serious games. A method for this purpose was tested within Chem-o-crypt, a game that teaches chemical equation balancing. The game automatically detects boredom, flow, and frustration using the Affdex SDK from Affectiva. The sensed affective state is then used to adapt the game play…

Erhel, Séverine; Jamet, Eric – Interactive Learning Environments, 2016
Few studies have investigated the effects of the instructions provided in educational computer games on cognitive processing and learning outcomes. In our experiment, we sought to compare the effects on learning outcomes of two different types of goal-oriented instructions: "mastery-goal" instructions, which prompt learners to develop…
