“…Great authors like Piaget, Le Bouche, Wallon, and Freire emphasized the importance of games in the psychosocial development of a child, as well as more recent scholars such as Zea, Sánchez, Gutiérrez, Cabrera & Paderewski (2009). For them, learning while playing allows for the discovery of skills, limitations, abstract thinking and mechanisms of coexistence.…”

“…Therefore, the situation recognition presented here might be a first step towards a sound adaptation of non-scenebased multiplayer games with a high amount of player freedom. Being able to automatically recognize the situation, a group of players/learners is in, might help to recognize problems in the learning/gaming process and subsequently react with an appropriate 9 …”

One major Serious Games challenge is adaptation of game-based learning environments towards the needs of players with heterogeneous player and learner traits. For both an instructor or an algorithmic adaptation mechanism it is vital to have knowledge about the course of the game in order to be able to recognize player intentions, potential problems, or misunderstandings -both of the game(play) and the learning content.The main contribution of this paper is a mechanism to recognize high-level situations in a multiplayer Serious Game. The approach presented uses criteria and situations based on the game-state, player actions and events and calculates how likely it is that players are in a certain situation. The gathered information can be used to feed an adaptation algorithm or be presented to the instructor to improve instructor decision making. In a first evaluation, the situation recognition was able to correctly recognize all of the situations in a set of game sessions. Thus, the contribution of this paper contains a novel approach to automatically capture complex multiplayer game states influenced b y u npredictable p layer b ehavior, a nd t o i nterpret t hat i nformation to calculate probabilities of relevant game situations to be present from which player intentions can be derived.

ABSTRACT:Collaboration generally leads to better learning outcomes than individual work, and efficient communication is of essential importance to collaborative learning environments. Adobe's Flash Media Server (FMS) together with its Flash provides an efficient a platform for developing collaborative learning environments. Using FMS, we have designed and developed a collaborative learning environment targeted for students' selfteaching of hydraulic experiments. The collaborative learning environment consists of multi-user collaboration supporting courseware modules called as virtual hydraulic circuits/equipments. In this paper, the Modeler-ViewController (MVC) architecture designed for the collaborative courseware modules was provided, and key steps of developing such modules using FMS were described. The effect of the courseware modules in helping students in making preparations for actual experiments was examined, and students' attitudes toward the modules were surveyed and analyzed. Results showed that collaborative courseware modules can lead to better learning outcome, and efficient communication especially audio communication is more preferred by the tested students.
