“…To make sure that the power of the Web is fully utilized for Web-based teaching and learning, a new Game-based Situated Learning Paradigm-VISOLE (Virtual Interactive Student-Oriented Learning Environment) is proposed in (Shang, Jong, Lee, & Lee, 2007), with an aim to help students learn from close to real-life experiences and social constructions of knowledge. The study presented showed that the VISOLE learning paradigm, did actually help students to learn subject-specific knowledge and generic skills, and most importantly did motivate students to learn.…”

Cloud computing technologies although in their early stages, have managed to change the way applications are going to be developed and accessed. These technologies are aimed at running applications as services applications are housed in the cloud. Cloud computing provides a low cost solution to academic institutions based applications can also be accessed through mobile devices in addition to being available to a variety of laptop and desk top computers, provided internet access is available. In this paper we present a solution that is based on cloud computing and can be used for building a virtual environment both for teaching and learning. We present an interactive tool that can be used for science education; we combined various technologies to achieve this goal. The environment and the design proposed can also be used as a platform for exploring and sharing new ideas as well as for designing, modifying and monitoring educational or course contents. In our design under the same environment we also allow integration of different pedagogical approaches to both learning and teaching.

“…The idea of a game component would help, did not hold through as it did not improve performance, neither brought engagement. Academic studies like VISOLE (Shang et al, 2007), AnswerMatching (Wu et al, 2007), Shadow Box (Sung et al, 2007), and Simulation Fish Tank (Tan and Biswas, 2007) proved to be successful within academic environment, but were never compared side by side within a corporate environment. Adhell and Adresen (2001) show case studies from companies like Electrolux, where game is used to train employees.…”

“…Several studies have been carried out on game-based learning with an educational orientation, especially for a possible use in either helping learning the traditional classroom environment, or supporting teaching activities (Hsiao, 2007), with improving techniques like the multi level challenge system (Cheng et al, 2007). Other game-based learning systems were, for examples, VISOLE (Shang et al, 2007), AnswerMatching (Wu et al, 2007), Shadow Box (Sung et al, 2007), and Simulation Fish Tank (Tan and Biswas, 2007). The literature covers developments in the e-learning research from the military to the classroom, but this is a fairly young subject, which has been following the personal computer revolution and received a super vitamin boost with the latest internet broadband improvements.…”

Most of research results show that the educational games are good to increase student's learning motivation in formal learning. This research reveals the project of designing and implementing a web-based educational game within a real corporate environment. It is amazing to find that what a real world company looks for is such a small and simple game. The game has been approved by the officer and used to provide to phone and face-to-face sales who have no minimum necessary knowledge of selling watercrafts insurance and have interest in using game-based learning mode instead of traditional PowerPoint presentation mode. The results show that the game mode's dispersion is quite high, showing a more volatile situation. Good news is, although the employees did not like the game itself, they are still willing to try the game, instead of the presentation, if offered.

Educational games have been widely developed and tested by many researchers. Most of results show that the educational games are good to increase student's learning motivation in formal learning. It seems quite workable, however, what kinds of game-based learning a business really want to see and want to use? This research reveals the project of designing and implementing a game-based learning system within a real corporate environment. After been through the tough process of finding a company willing to adopt the game for its on-the-job training and orientation as well as the negotiations, the legal issues and the extensive scrutiny, it's amazing to find that what a real world company asks for is such a small and simple game. The game has been approved by the officer and ready to provide to phone and face-to-face sales who have no minimum necessary knowledge of selling watercrafts insurance and have interest in using game-based learning mode instead of PowerPoint presentation mode. The officer mentioned that he was quite happy with the game.
