[iPhone App] MatheMemory

Eine weiter iPhone-App entwickelt von einem Studierenden an der TU Graz hat den Weg in den App Store geschafft: MatheMemory. Ein Spiel mit dem wir versuchen wollen Lernen (einfaches Addieren) und Freude (Memory) zu verbinden. Es gibt auch mehrere Schwierigkeitsstufen sowohl bei der Addition als auch bei der Anzahl der Karten. Wie immer freuen wir uns sehr über Feedback 🙂 .

The MatheMemory App allows children to start learning mathematic playfully. Behind the memory cards with funny motifs hide tricky plus and minus calculations and results. The Goal is to find the right results to the according calculations. Different stages provide different levels of difficulty and balloons signal the number of cards. Both can be easily selected. Wether in the jungle or in the circus, nothing is blocking the funny calculating!
Depending on the level, the numbers are between 0 and 50. Addition and subtraction are used. Finding the right calculation and result pairs is rewarded with funny motifs and sounds and thus positive associated.

Hier kann die App downgeloadet werden [Link] und alle weiteren verfügbaren Apps der TU Graz findet man hier [iTunes Link].

[publication] Playing a Game in Civil Engineering

Our this year publication on „Playing a Game in Civil Engineering“ at ICL 2011 conference is now online available as Draft version. The slides were already published here.
Abstract:

The goal of our research work was to find out whether in-depth learning of complex theoretical engineering knowledge at higher education level could be improved by the use of online games. In this context we addressed the research question to what extent online games contribute to the students learnin goutcome. The corresponding online game was used for the first time during a lecture on Structural Analysis at bachelor’s level with 159 students of the third semester. We used a pre-/post-testdesign with questionnaires and an independent online tracking. As a result we can point out that playing the game did not increase the learning outcome per se and the didactical scenario should be reconsidered. Nevertheless, the usage of the game for learning purposes was underlined by the oral feedback given which says that students enjoyed playing the game more than learning in a traditional way.

[publication] Game Based Learning in Secondary Education: Geographical Knowledge of Austria

Our publication on „Game Based Learning in Secondary Education: Geographical Knowledge of Austria“ at this year ED-Media Conference in Lisbon is now online available. The slides have been already published here.
Abstract:

An educational, interactive flash game, iGeo, was developed at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) with the intent to assist secondary school students with studying Geography. Objective: Our main research question was to find out whether challenging online games can motivate students to learn and achieve reach better results as a non-assisted group. Experimental Setting: The application was tested for the first time in a class with seventeen pupils at lower secondary school level. Methods: Pretest/posttest experimental control group design with questionnaires. Results: The group learning with iGeo reached significantly better results than the control group in the final examination. Additionally, it can be mentioned that learning by playing a game is more “enjoyable” for the participants. Conclusion: According to the results and the general impression of the students, Game Based Learning (GBL) has definitely a positive impact on the field of secondary education, in this case Geography.
