“…21 Additionally, there is also an increasing interest in how games can be effectively applied in learning and training contexts, as well as in other areas such as healthcare, 22 rehabilitation, 23 and military training. 24 For instance, Albaladejo et al 25 presented a multimodal system that could be used to improve cyberdefense capabilities by utilizing gamified platforms for training and testing individuals and organizations in cybersecurity practices and techniques. However, SGs must be able to show that the necessary learning has occurred.…”

During the last few years, there has been increasing attention paid to serious games (SGs), which are games used for non‐entertainment purposes. SGs offer the potential for more valid and reliable assessments compared to traditional methods such as paper‐and‐pencil tests. However, the incorporation of assessment features into SGs is still in its early stages, requiring specific design efforts for each game and adding significant time to the design of Game‐based Assessments (GBAs). In this research, we present a completely novel framework that aims to perform interoperable GBAs by: (a) integrating a common GBA ontology model to process RDF data; (b) developing in‐game metrics to infer useful information and assess learners; (c) integrating a service API to provide an easy way to interact with the framework. We then validate our approach through performance evaluation and two use cases, demonstrating its effectiveness in real‐world scenarios with large‐scale datasets. Our results show that the developed framework achieves excellent performance, replicating metrics from previous literature. We anticipate that our work will help alleviate current limitations in the field and facilitate the deployment of GBAs as a Service.

“…Simulations and SGs have been used in a diverse range of emergency training and escalating situation scenarios including combat training, [52], [53], [54], [55] healthcare training, [56], [57], industrial emergency management training, [58], and civil defence emergencies [59], [60]. However, military or medical emergency response personnel undertake training with a clear understanding that there is a high level of certainty they will have to apply their learning in an emergency situation.…”

The research conducted a thorough review of evidence and effectiveness of digital serious games (SGs) for communication of action-oriented key messages (related to tsunami evacuation) to children. Significant scientific research investigates tsunami risk which is not always effectively communicated to children who are expected to make appropriate decisions during a tsunami event. SGs can motivate children and enhance risk communication. Computing technologies offer a delivery platform to access digital SGs which require little educator training and motivate learners. The research reviewed evidence of effective SGs that address tsunami risk and are deployable by educators. Based on this review, it is evident that very few suitable classroom deployable, digital SGs that address tsunami evacuation decision-making are available. Results showed only 2 suitable, available games. Similarly, while general evidence of the effectiveness of digital SGs was found, the evaluation of and evidence for the specific effectiveness of the available games was extremely limited. The education establishment and disaster community could exploit SG technology more effectively to communicate natural hazard risk to children in a global context where such risk is increasing. The research informs future game development projects which need to embrace comprehensive stakeholder involvement and inputs. Recommendations for serious game development projects are proposed.

Serious games and smart gamification potentially represent an efficient combination of smart systems and technologies on the one hand, while on the other hand they represent a combination of mechanics used for computer games in serious fields of application and gamification. The capabilities and advantages of both fields are combined and as a result they get help from users who need it.This paper describes their application in mental health, as an important issue for all of us.
