“…The realistic movement provides an explanation for the popularity of eShadow among Greek teachers and students, as revealed during several field trials and during tests with real professional artists [19]. eShadow is used in many schools to encourage project-based learning combining the arts in a wide range of school subjects from language learning, history and social studies to math, science, and computing [19][20][21][22][23]. The creation of such works with eShadow is based on a project-based process in three distinct phases, which is generic and linked to any media work such as film, digital game, interactive animation, etc.…”

This paper presents a systematic approach to building and sustaining technology-enhanced learning communities based on a conceptual model that enables the analysis and enhancement of digital platforms and tools that promote creativity and learning. Two such software systems are presented, and their usage is analyzed. Experimental results are also presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of the conceptual model in enhancing the learning experiences offered.

“…MCI can lead to dementia, such as AD, which is correlated with motivational and emotional disorders including depression that will affect patient behaviour toward different activities [49]. Several studies [7,15,28,30,37,40,43,58,63,71] provide a more specific indication of how playfulness affects people's behaviour and psychology. In [30,37,40], inclusive playful experiences are introduced to a wide range of people, such as those with cognitive, physical and developmental impairments who behave differently, so as to improve their social well-being and advance their enjoyment while playing.…”

“…It provides a playful virtual circumstance to children to mimic playing in the playground. Similarly, eShadow [43] uses the concept of a traditional puppet show to attract people to harness their personal expression and creativity. The digital shadow theatre enables the player to participate and engage with the creative platform, so as to cultivate their social skills.…”

All of the records sampled were from resident patients who had already been assessed as having some degree of MCI. In this way, the capabilities and needs of the MCI group in the serious game environment could be determined.…”

A framework and immersive serious game for mild cognitive impairment

Cognitive decline is common in the elderly. As a result, a range of cognitive rehabilitation games have been proposed to supplement or replace traditional rehabilitative training by offering benefits such as improved engagement. In this paper, we focus on mild cognitive impairment (MCI), an initial stage of cognitive decline that does not affect functioning in daily life, but which may progress towards more serious cognitive deteriorations, notably dementia. Unfortunately, while a variety of serious game frameworks and rehabilitative serious games have been proposed, there is a distinct lack of those which support the distinctive characteristics of MCI patients. Consequently, to optimise the advantages of serious games for MCI, we propose the MCI-GaTE (MCI-Game Therapy Experience) framework that may be used to develop serious games as effective cognitive and physical rehabilitation tools. The framework is derived from a combination of a survey of related research literature in the area, analysis of resident profiles from a nursing home, and in-depth interviews with occupational therapists (OTs) who work with MCI patients on a daily basis. The conceptual framework comprises four sectors that may be used to guide game design and development: an MCI player profile that represents the capabilities of a player with MCI, core gaming elements that support gameful and playful activities, therapeutic elements that support cognitive and physical rehabilitation through tasks and scenarios according to the player’s abilities, and motivational elements to enhance the player’s attitude towards the serious tasks. Together, they provide support for rehabilitation needs and may also serve as a set of comprehensive and established criteria by which an MCI serious game may be evaluated. To demonstrate the use of MCI-GaTE, we also present A-go!, an immersive gesture-based serious game that exploits the framework to enable MCI-diagnosed players to undertake therapeutic tasks supported by an assigned OT. Evaluation with OTs revealed that the immersive game potentially offers more effective support to MCI patients than traditional methods, contributing new possibilities for enhancing MCI rehabilitative training, while a comparative assessment of MCI-GaTE demonstrated that it provides a comprehensive approach not currently offered by state-of-the-art rehabilitative frameworks.

“…Η ευεργετική εφαρμογή των παιχνιδιών σε εκπαιδευτικά πλαίσια έχει επισημανθεί διάφορους ερευνητές στον χώρο της παιδαγωγικής και της ψυχολογίας (Bodrova & Leong, 2015;Papert, 1993;Piaget, 1952;Salen & Zimmerman, 2004). Το μεγάλο ερευνητικό ενδιαφέρον προς την κατεύθυνση αυτή έδειξε πως το παιχνίδι μπορεί να αποτελέσει ένα αποτελεσματικό εργαλείο μάθησης για διαφορετικά γνωστικά πεδία, όπως αυτά των μαθηματικών, φυσικής γεωγραφίας, μηχανικής, ιατρικής, προγραμματισμού και ιστορίας (Bakker, van den Heuvel-Panhuizen, & Robitzsch, 2016;Coller & Scott, 2009;Meluso, Zheng, Spires, & Lester, 2012;Moraiti et al, 2016;Rodríguez, Balcells, Estévez, Moreno, & Ramos, 2014;Ruiz, Mintzer, & Leipzig, 2006;Shaffer et al, 2005;Skoumpourdi, 2012;Staub & Sanchez, 2012;Yu & Liu, 2009). Η οργάνωση εκπαιδευτικών περιβαλλόντων και εκπαιδευτικού περιεχομένου μέσω του παιχνιδιού είναι ένας τομέας έρευνας που υπογραμμίζει όλο και περισσότερο τη σχέση μεταξύ παιδιών και εκπαιδευτικών για την αποτελεσματική μάθηση (Hatch, 2010) (Hatch, 2010 (Pellegrini & Smith, 1998).…”

Η παρούσα διατριβή μελετά τον σχεδιασμό και την κατάρτιση διδακτικών παρεμβάσεων πάνω στον σχεδιασμό εκπαιδευτικών παιχνιδιών από τους μαθητές της προσχολικής ηλικίας. Κατά τη διάρκεια της μελέτης, οι μαθητές συμμετείχαν σε μια σειρά διδακτικών παρεμβάσεων με στόχο την κατασκευή εκπαιδευτικών παιχνιδιών πάνω στον τομέα των μαθηματικών κανονικοτήτων. Η μελέτη παρουσιάζει έναν πειραματικό σχεδιασμό με ελέγχους πριν και μετά και δύο ομάδες: πειραματική και ελέγχου.Η ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων δείχνει ότι η συμμετοχή νηπίων στην κατασκευή παιχνιδιών βοηθά στην ανάπτυξη δεξιοτήτων στην κατασκευή παιχνιδιών αλλά και προβλημάτων.
