About the project
Tablet computers are getting more and more established in the world, not only for games and fun, but also in the learning process of schools. Also, mobile devices are offering us completely new approaches to learning.
The use of mobile devices is growing outstandingly, but their use in learning processes lags far behind. The purchase of appropriate equipment is problematic for most schools, but an even bigger problem is the lack of relevant learning contents in Slovenian language. The latter will be insurmountable only by the immediate development of interdisciplinary staff capable of developing multimedia educational applications.
For proving that learning with a mobile device can be fun and especially effective, students from four different faculties (PEF, UL-MMK, UL-ALUO, FRI) gathered together with teaching and working mentors to combine their knowledge.
We tested our games in kindergartens and schools, where we got the results about the effectiveness of our application and learned what needed to be improved in individual games.
Games
1. Labyrinth letters, syllables – The game is mainly based on learning the verbal-language communication – logopedics. The goal of the game is to get the target voice to the other side of the labyrinth. The game is audio supported, allowing the player aural recognition of letters and syllables. On the way to the target player collects stars, which are deducted at the wrong response.
2. Labyrinth words – The player has before him a main character (capercaillie and starfish). The goal of the game is to get to the set goal and collect the largest possible amount of stars. Stars are earned with correct answers to the questions that appear on the screen. All questions are acoustically supported.
3. River – The goal of the game is to get as many correct answers to get to the pier, by using a raft. The task of the player is to collect animals on to the raft. The player task is to choose among the three animals displayed, the one that suits the acoustically supported question. The letter sought is displayed in a yellow circle. The larger the number of animals on the raft, the quicker it moves towards the pier. If the player answers incorrectly, the raft changes its direction towards the waterfall, which presents a threat.
4. Car – The player tries to assemble the searched word displayed in the white cloud, with the syllables he collects on the road. While driving, it is necessary to dodge obstacles and incorrect syllables that are mixed between the wanted syllables on the road. The goal of the game is to make as many words, and to collect the largest possible amount of stars, which are deducted with collecting the wrong syllable or hitting obstacles on the road.
Events
Students plan to present their work at the international conference ERK 2015 (www.ieee.si/erk) on 21.9.2015.
