1 Introduction
• Project eMadrid:
– Call 2013 for R+D Technologies
Programmes
– 2014-16, extendible to 2017-18
– Continuation of a homonym project, call
2009
• Goal 4:
– Serious games and educational
simulations

2 Past research – UAM
• Goal:
– Balance between educational value and
entertainment in educational videogames
• Proposal:
– Adaptation based on:
• Player profile: to motivate the student
• Learning style: to determine the best method,
learning objects

• Explorations made in an adaptive
educational context
• Initial results:
– Most users claim that foreseen adaptation
rules are right
– Preferences about learning style change
due to the virtual context:
• The nature of the virtual context has an
influence on dimensions regarding how
students organize, process, perceive, receive
and understand information

• Goal: to evaluate the effectiveness of
gamification in e-learning:
– Motivation and participation should be
increased
– Studies in e-learning do not provide
definite evidence about their effectiveness:
• Success is due to the use of gamification or to
the system itself (independently from
gamification)
• Proposal: to address studies aimed at
answering this question

• Gamification of evalUAM:
– Tool tested for adaptive tests:
• Little students’ motivation has been observed
in different experiences
– Ideal context to identify whether the use
of gamification may face little motivation
while the system essence is maintained
(dynamic adaptability)
– Evidence is sought about success of the
gamification process

2 Past research – UCM
• Application areas and ages
– Electricity / electromagnetism (12+)
– Promote reading (4-8)
– Computing education (18+)
– Classical theater (12+)
– XML Markup (18+)
• Approaches
– Learning through games
– Gamification
– Learning Analytics
• Devices
– Tabletop
– Tablets & smartphones
– Virtual & augmented reality

2 Past research – UCM
• Some games:
– La Dama Boba: classical theater for 12+
– Lost in Space: XML for non-programmers
• Infrastructure:
– Game Learning Analytics, player profiles
– xAPI games language
– Accessible games
• EU Projects: RAGE & Beaconing

• AR: Promise for education
2 Past research – UC3M

• Main results in AR:
– Students achieve high levels of concentration
when using AR-based simulations
– AR can be ineffective for some students in
experiential learning
– Students behave differently depending on
whether or not they are guided in their activities
– Simple scaffolding might help in improving the
effectiveness of AR-based simulation
environments
2 Past research – UC3M

de Marcos (physical simulation + 3DVW)

de Marcos

2 Past research – URJC
• Two topics on computing education:
– Program visualization using the SRec
system
– Comparing outcomes of optimization
algorithms

• Program visualization using the SRec
system:
– Technique of “multiple executions”:
– Constructive use of visualizations for the
development of dynamic programming
algorithms:

• Comparing outcomes of optimization
algorithms:
– Collaborative extension of the GreedEx
system, aimed at experimenting with
greedy algorithms
– Development of the OptimEx system,
aimed at comparing optimization
algorithms

3 Future work
• Computing education (URJC):
– Extend SRec support to the development
of dynamic programming algorithms by
generating code
– Extend SRec visualizations with domain-
specific graphical representations
– Enhance OptimEx usability

3 Future work
• Gamification (UCM):
– New student model
– Application of learning analytics to games
• Digital humanities:
– Making reading tangible to disabled
children by means of virtual reality (UC3M)
– Serious games on dancing and theater
(UCM)

3 Future work
• Augmented reality (UC3M):
– Incorporate AR-based simulations into
Web-based courses
