Education accompanies us throughout our whole life. Many innovations in education have originated from modern technologies.
However, the majority of learners—especially children or teenagers—find studying from electronic educational sources and web-based
information systems less exciting than playing today’s popular computer games that, conversely, lack signs of education. In
this paper, we describe an innovative concept of generating three- dimensional interactive multimedia educational games that
combine the excitement and looks of popular computer games with the educational potential of e-learning, and the concept’s
realization by a software system called S.M.I.L.E.: Smart Multipurpose Interactive Learning Environment. One of its key features
is the automatic generation of games based on a model created by teachers without needing them to be familiar with programming
or game design. Moreover, we consider various learners’ abilities and features that enable different users (including handicapped)
to learn effectively by playing educational games easily created by teachers. We follow the idea that everyone needs access
to quality education and are convinced that by enabling cooperative education not just among learners, but also between handicapped
and able-bodied ones, we bring the humane dimension into education. |
