Paper Abstract:
|
In this work we propose to use serious games for literacy acquisition in early reading. We propose a model for adaptivity of the game to the learner. Furthermore we motivate the importance of collaboration between learners. We show how adaptability, individualization, and collaboration are realized in the serious game weMakeWords. weMakeWords is an adaptive serious game for literacy acquisition that enforces collaborative actions between players where children aged between 4 and 8 are constructing words in teams. Finally we present a preliminary evaluation of game concepts that shows initial promising results. |
