A Platform Independent Game Technology Model for Model Driven Serious Games Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 tools to enable domain experts to develop or customise serious games. Model Driven Engineering (MDE) goes some way to provide the techniques required to generate a wide variety of interoperable serious games software solutions whilst encapsulating and shielding the technicality of the full software development process. In this paper, we present our Game Technology Model (GTM) which models serious game software in a manner independent of any hardware or operating platform specifications for use in our Model Driven Serious Game Development Framework.

Relationship between Designing Computer-based Educational Games, and Learning Motivation among Elementary Students
Background: Motivation is an important factor in learning. Educational games increase the learning motivation and understanding of students by creating a sense of joy, satisfaction and involvement. However, it is necessary to incorporate learning elements into the games, differently. In this study, the researcher tried to provide a model for designing educational games and determining its relat...
متن کاملA Model Driven Serious Games Development Approach for Game-based Learning
Computer games, predominantly a form of interactive entertainment, are having some success being repurposed for educational use. However, this approach is hindered by the lack of availability of experience in serious games tools. Much research is already underway to address this challenge, with some who choose to use readily available commercial-off-the-shelf games and others attempted to devel...
متن کاملModel Driven Game Development: 2D Platform Game Prototyping
The increasing complexity of game development highlights the need of intellectual and industrial tools to enhance productivity in terms of quality, time and cost. In this paper we propose to apply Model-Driven Development (MDD) methodology to game development, rising the level of abstraction towards game conceptual modelling. As an example, we present a game design prototype tool to prototype 2...
متن کاملA Model Driven Development Framework for Serious Games
Serious games have become more important in the field of education. The tight connection of education to computer game playing by presenting learning content in a game-like environment creates a better usage experience thus leading to higher usage and potentially better learning outcomes. To create successful serious games, it is necessary to combine programming knowledge and didactical knowled...
متن کاملSerious Game Development for Educators - a Serious Game Logic and Structure Modeling Language
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 ...
