The competency building process of human computer interaction in game-based teaching: Adding the flexibility of an asynchronous format

Abstract

-This paper builds upon the authors' previous research in which the competency building process of individuals was analyzed in a purely synchronous computer game-based teaching technology. The issue of heterogeneity of speed of adaptation to the learning tool, identified in the synchronous context, is here addressed by introducing the flexibility of an asynchronous format, in which students are given the opportunity to complete the game at their own pace. Experts count game-based teaching amongst the technologies likely to have the largest impact on education over the next five years. Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) are based on multiple interactions between different humans in virtual worlds. A MMOG teaching game was created in a virtual world. Participant discourses based on written chats were collected and exploited by netnography. Visual data was filmed and analyzed by the semiotics method then compared to the discourse analysis. First results show interesting differences between synchronous and asynchronous modes, in the interaction and collaboration within and across teams.Index Terms -human-computer interactionnetnography -teaching technology -virtual world

Um Mapeamento Sistemático da Literatura sobre Ambientes Digitais para o Treinamento de Profissionais da Educação

“…Esse tipo de ambiente utiliza conceitos de jogos, simuladores de física do mundo real e tecnologias de streaming de áudio e vídeo. Isso permite que o ambiente oferec ¸a oportunidades de simulac ¸ão em tempo real, gerando experiências, aprendizagem e colaborac ¸ão dentro de um ambiente virtual online [Emad et al 2013]). Na subquestão SQ1.1, investigou-se quais tecnologias emergentes da Educac ¸ão 4.0 dão suporte aos ambientes digitais.…”

Implementation of Asynchronous Interactive Learning Activities in a Blended Teaching Environment and the Evaluation of its Effectiveness

“…The novel online-offline blended teaching mode is a good way to train students' comprehensive ability. This new teaching mode integrates practicality with the acquired knowledge, learning interest, and individual difference of students, creating a harmonious learning environment that can effectively stimulate students' initiative [11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. AIL emphasizes students' dominant role in learning activities, by creating interactive and flexible teaching environment for teachers and students, it mobilizes students' enthusiasm and initiative to the greatest extent and activates the classroom atmosphere, which can fully meet the requirements of blended teaching.…”
