Abstract Simulations and serious games are often considered to be efficient for professionals training. Experiential learning makes simulation a good pedagogical tool for educating working professionals. But the success of game based delivery depends on various factors such as the right blend of simulation and traditional theoretical lessons, concept and content of the simulation, link between the simulation and professional activities etc. Paper proposes a simple model representing links o

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 Tr

AbstractResearch into educational technology has evaluated new computer-based systems as tools for improving students’ academic performance and engagement. Serious games should also be considered as an alternative pedagogical medium for attracting students with different needs and expectations. In this field study, we empirically examined different forms of serious-game use for learning on learning performance and attitudes of eighty 13-year-old students in the first grade of middle school

Dermatology surgery training is rapidly evolving with an ever increasing focus on resident procedural training. However, surgical training varies greatly between different residency programs. The ACGME requires dermatology training to ensure competency in the surgical treatment of skin disease. It is crucial that residents are provided with ample opportunities to hone their skills and with evaluative methods that are valid, reliable, and objective in order to identify potential resident weakness

The main research question addressed in this thesis is how the choice of game type influences the success of digital educational games (DEG), where success is defined as significant knowledge gain in combination with positive player experience. Games differ in type if they differ at least by one game feature. As a first step we identified a comprehensive set of unique game features, summarised in the Game Elements-Attributes Model (GEAM), where elements are the defining components that all game
