Reading Space Secrets - A Serious Game Centered on Reading Strategies
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Human - Computer Interaction - Year 2016, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Serious games based on reading strategies are an efficient alternative for improving students’ capabilities of text understanding. In today’s industry and academic environments, there are various games that target reading strategies, but unfortunately most keep focus only on the educational component, leaving the user experience behind. These games are not appealing to young students and thus, may not fully achieve the desired outcomes. The serious game described in this paper puts emphasis on the user experience, tightly coupled with keeping a high standard of its educational focus. Preliminary validation experiments denote a high user acceptance of the proposed educational scenario as an alternative to the traditional scenario that consists of a lecture followed by a self-explanation of the input narrative text.
