Analytical Design of Clinical Cases for Educational Games

Abstract

Preparing medical students to provide emergency care is one of the biggest challenges in health education, as novices must articulate a wide spectrum, ever-growing knowledge of a generalist physician in the shortest possible time. Previous experience has shown that a problembased e-Learning environment, presenting clinical cases to be solved by students, has several benefits in the learning process. This paper describes the design and development of an approach to produce health learning games. The approach focuses on combining student engagement with realistic narratives. The central component is a narrative scripting language that enables rapid prototyping and integration with a data analysis backed authoring process. Our method has been materialized in an educational game authoring environment that allows the creation of complex cases and automatic generation of simpler ones. The analytical design provides a scalable method to create medical learning experiences based on well-defined medical education theories and health data.

Design de Narrativas para Jogos Digitais Baseados em Processos de Negócio

“…Os autores associaram a evoluc ¸ão de uma ocorrência de emergência com os estágios da Jornada do Herói. Outro exemplo nesta temática é o trabalho de [Mota et al 2019] que utiliza uma linguagem de script narrativo para o design de jogos de aprendizagem em saúde. Neste trabalho também está incluído um software para edic ¸ão das cenas da história e gerac ¸ão do jogo.…”

“…However, the platform also offers a full-fledged visual authoring tool. For detailed information about Versum see [25] and [26] A Versum script has two faces. On the one hand, as the narrative unfolds in the Player Environment, a translator mechanism dynamically converts this script into interactive web pages populated by web components.…”

Scripting Your Process - Design de Narrativas para Jogos Baseados em Processos de Negócio

“…Sobre design de narrativas e jogos digitais sérios foram encontrados alguns trabalhos. Em de Mota et al [2019] há uma abordagem baseada em script narrativo no qual os autores geram cenas que podem ser editadas de maneira visual ou por script. Ariya et al [2019] propuseram um framework envolvendo o design participativo com uso de storyboard para representar o fluxo do jogo.…”
