A teacher's tool in game-based learning system: Study and implementation

Abstract

More and more attention is paid to Game-based Learning at present. In this paper, the design and development of a teacher's tool in game-based learning system was introduced. The teacher's tool has two main functions. Firstly, teacher can use the tool to trace students' learning activity on-line and interact real-time with students, such as providing help, scaffold and encouragement etc. Secondly, teachers can design new plots according to students' study schedule and integrate the content of courses in it, which can give teachers full play to the leading role of instruction. The second function also has a good effect on integrating the game and education. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
