Abstract
A Web-Based Serious Game for Joint Training
As military systems and processes are becoming increasingly complex and thus more difficult to comprehend, large-scale exercises for NATO Joint Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (JISR) are regularly performed yet are often obstructed by insufficient staff preparedness. To address this concern, this thesis presents the design, prototypal implementation, and evaluation of a modular and web-based serious game called Exercise Trainer (EXTRA). EXTRA is a simulation game for business processes that embeds metaphors on real-world systems into the game to facilitate recognition and to increase initial motivation torwards its use. It is built on top of the Phaser.io game engine and the ReactJS user interface library. As a result of a subjective value benefit analysis, this combination turned out to be most appropriate. In addition, by encapsulating the game world state and user actions in self-contained data structures, EXTRA offers great potential in terms of interoperability with process models, learning platforms, and game authoring tools. A pilot study verified the technical functionality, the learning effects, and the user acceptance of the game. As the participants were able to recall the employed systems and their interrelationships, these research findings suggest the feasibility and effectiveness of EXTRA’s approach to train exercise participants.
