This volume brings together research on how gameplay data in serious games may be turned into valuable analytics or actionable intelligence for performance measurement, assessment, and improvement. Chapter authors use empirical research methodologies, including existing, experimental, and emerging conceptual frameworks, from various fields, such as: computer science software engineering educational data mining statistics information visualization. Serious games is an emerging field where the games are created using sound learning theories and instructional design principles to maximize...

This work focuses on a whole curriculum approach to teaching and learning, offering theoretical models and examples of practice that capitalise on the potential of technology to deliver alternatives to traditional lecture-based models of University teaching.

Lastly, Part Four analyzes the changing tools and learning environments teachers and learners must face.Each of the four parts has six chapters.

Presenting cutting-edge research papers from the CELDA 2012 conference, this collection offers multi-disciplinary, peer-reviewed coverage of the latest innovations in the use of digital systems and technologies to enhance both formal and informal learning.

This book aims to provide insight into how digital technologies may bridge and enhance formal and informal workplace learning. It will feature four major themes: 1. Current research exploring the theoretical underpinnings of digital workplace learning. 2. Insights into available digital technologies as well as organizational requirements for technology-enhanced learning in the workplace. 3. Issues and challenges for designing and implementing digital workplace learning as well as strategies for assessments of learning in the workplace. 4. Case studies, empirical research findings, and...
