MiBoard: iSTART Metacognitive Training through Gaming
نویسندگان
چکیده
MiBoard (Multiplayer Interactive Board Game) is an online, turn-based board game, which is a supplement of the iSTART (Interactive Strategy Training for Active Reading and Thinking) application. MiBoard is developed to test the hypothesis that integrating game characteristics (point rewards, game-like interaction, and peer feedback) into the iSTART trainer will significantly improve its effectiveness on students’ learning. It was shown by M. Rowe that a physical board game did in fact enhance students’ performance. MiBoard is a computer-based version of Rowe’s board game that eliminates constraints on locality while retaining the crucial practice components that were the game’s objective. MiBoard gives incentives for participation and provides a more enjoyable and social practice environment compared to the online individual practice component of the original trainer.
