“…Learning styles and cultural background of players can constrain the game genre and the game conception [6]. The type of knowledge can also constrain the conception and effectiveness of a SG, but it can lead us to integrate knowledge into the video game too.…”

“…Likewise, from this model, we can deduce the learning activities [5] and mental processes that learners/players will use in order to make the knowledge transfer and learning. So, according to Rapeepisarn et al study [6], based on Prensky [5] and Chong [7] et al theories, we can define the suitable game genre for our serious game.…”

This paper details the development of a "Business Game" created for a large financial institution. The objective of the game is to present the company to new employees. As the project unfolded, integrating the different kinds of knowledge into the game became the critical issue. The game has gone through 3 successive versions. A vast range of knowledge can be transmitted in a serious game; consequently, knowledge is integrated into the game in a number of different ways, either directly integrated into the game play (game mechanics) as scenarized knowledge, or made available as an external resource. A Knowledge Management Approach has been used and refined during the development of the game. This methodology wants to complement Prensky and Chong's arguments about learning techniques and learning styles.

Abstract. There is much attention given to emerging technologies like mobile internet because of its increasing popularity. Much research has concentrated on hardware and some have focused on personalisation in terms of content visualisation. The focus of this paper is on mobile content personalisation, seeking to understand the user groups through clustering users on profile. This paper focuses on the implementation of a technique known as 'ZoningCentroid', which is the evaluation technique used to determine the appropriate number of clusters that best cluster the given users profile. The user profile used in this paper includes mobile content usage based on basic demographic factors. The algorithm used to cluster in this paper is k-means clustering. The results show that the proposed technique could suggest the appropriate number of clusters to be used with the k-values for implementing in the area of mobile entertainment content personalisation.

“…The research also proposed several variables when selecting a game style including target group based on their age and gender. [6,7] studied the relationship of personal characteristic and game genres as well. It investigated the relationship of the appropriate game genre to learning theory and analysed the characteristics of game theme.…”

Abstract. Mobile device is an important gadget for many people today, regardless whether it is used for communication, entertainment or keeping up to date. With the advancement of mobile Internet, mobile devices are also used for many conventional PC based Internet applications. One such example is downloading games. Downloading mobile games via mobile device seems to be one of the more favorite activities for many mobile devices today. However, users may have different preferences in what genres of games they will be more interested in at different time of the day. In this paper, a personalised mobile game recommendation system which takes into consideration the time-of-day and time-of-week is used to provide a more personalised experience. From the data collected, it can be seen that at different time periods users may download different games and from different game genres.
