Serious Game Development for Educators - a Serious Game Logic and Structure Modeling Language

چکیده
Serious games play an important role in education. The interplay of education and gameplay induces to higher motivation of players and enhance their learning success. Serious games development implies programming knowledge and didactical knowledge. However educators are not able to develop such games on their own due to lack of programming and game design skills. In our research, we focus on a solution that allows educators with no programming skills to still create didactically sound serious games by providing a visual design tool and model driven development techniques that allow the generation of games from visual models. In this paper, we describe the first steps towards this goal, the design of the Serious Game Logic and Structure Modeling Language (GLiSMo). Therefore, we identified requirements for the development of serious games and derived language elements from them. We show the feasibility and applicability of GLiSMo by modeling an exemplary serious game scenario.
