In this paper we describe a web application framework for developing games that teach users about computational thinking and the preliminary research that led to its creation. CTArcade was developed to be the foundation for a library of several challenging games that engage the users’ innate computational thinking (CT) skills. These skills are employed when the users are asked to teach an artif...

The paper describes the initial design and testing of an alternative approach to learning design classification in the form of a small-group activity for use at teaching and learning conferences and showcase events. The learner role classification approach uses small scale comparative surveys as a basis for exploratory discussion of relationships among different learning design options. ‘Role-p...

mathematics curriculum in schools is always a key position and is considered as an essential knowledge. so it is taught in the first years of school curriculum. this knowledge has focused on calculating the initial period. so this part of mathematics play an important role in lives of all people so this knowledge is essential for learning today. in the early years of primary school children, th...

This article analyzes the impact of a computer simulation (business game) on the users’ perceived learning. The theoretical model developed in this paper is derived from the collaborative learning and the Human-Computer Interaction assumptions. The hypotheses relating groups’ dynamics and the user-computer interface design with the users’ perceived learning are tested using the business game “F...
