Developing games is a popular work in itself and a field of commercial development. It also occupies an important position in the design field as well. Because the game has a high commercial value and a design role in the game. This study examines the interface in terms of usability evaluation to see how to design the interface that corresponds to the appearance of the game. For this purpose, the previous research is examined and the interface elements derived from the survey are used as questionnaire items. The results of this study are expected to help guide the design of game interface design.

This study is a design study to develop the reading application for English learning courses with fun elements of Gamification incorporating user's immersion. The system is focusing on the story progression of Aesop's fable "Rabbit and Tortoise", which is consisted of chapters in digital technology. We intended to apply the four elements of fun factors by grafting Gamification into the game engine system. The purpose and significance of the study is to present the guideline through evaluation of usability from prototypes by surveying the educator group.

Computer games must keep the user immersed for fun. According to the immersion theory, maintaining the user's immersive state requires a continuous balance of game skill level and game difficulty level This study proposes a game skill estimation method of 9th grade that can be applied to a casual action game that can assume a zero-sum game, and additionally proposed a difficulty guessing method. The proposed methods can be implemented quickly and easily because it is a method determining by conditional mathematical expressions. Experiments on the accuracy of the proposed methods for the customized Pac-Man game show that the accuracy of the skill level was 1.2 grade as the difference on the average and the accuracy of the game difficulty level was 1.81 grade the difference on the average. The results show that the proposed methods are accurate enough to be applied to casual action games satisfying the zero-sum condition.

Gamifications offer utilities that may have potential to support convergence to become more engaged on their filed. This paper aims to design and implement gamification for the supporting of environment education based on the extended cooperation. We describe game mechanics, the system architecture, and its MDA model, finalizing with a small conclusion. We also discuss the implications of our work for the gamification that support the identified features and activate environment education. The result will be a framework for designing a gamification system that is suited for environment education. Ease, familiarity, relatedness, comfort, and usefulness were confirmed by the opinion polling. Our prototype has updated by reflecting their views and opinions.

The purpose of this study was to develop and to explore the possibility of the serious language training game for students with intellectual disabilities. To do this, words of language training program were extracted from the National Common Basic Curriculum of Special School and the contents design of language training program were developed based on the evaluation of significance and difficulty by special teachers, special education professors, and special education experts. To explore the possibility of applying the serious language training game, a usability evaluation was conducted with 45 special school teachers and 31 students with intellectual disabilities. The results showed that the serious language game had a high level of usability as the special school teachers received 4.25 and the students with intellectual disabilities received 4.33 out of 5. But there is no difference of usability evaluation on the level of school and the arrangement of school. As a result of this study, we can draw a conclusion that there is a high possibility of applying the serious language game to language education for students with intellectual disabilities.

Although computer games seem to be efficient tools for facilitating and supporting situated learning in Europe, GBL(game based learning) is less likely in Korea. The objectives of this paper are to address the causes of the problem and evaluate a serious game for history GBL. We review various cases of history GBL projects in European School Net, commercial games and serious games which are related to history. We draw a demand of our game's structural type, learning criterion, basic model of instruction, and executable prototype from the analysis results. Scene management educators pursue and dependencies of turning points in the history are critical differentiator. An evaluation team of educators, learners, and edu-game managers evaluates that the prototype is suitable model for application in history instruction.

분명한 것은 한국형 온라인게임의 특징적 원리들이 탑재되고 있는 방식과 현상은 점차 강화되고 있음에도 불구하고 게임사 주도적으로 전개되고 있는 산업의 성장모형은 평가기능으로 작동해야 할 조정 메커니즘의 원활한 흐름을 저해하는 길항관계에 있는 것은 사실이다. 이러한 문제를 인식하고 연구자는 게임연구의 활성화지점과 게임개발 테크놀로지가 가진 길항관계를 보완할 수 있는 디자인에 주목하고자 하였다. 게임디자인은 게임의 미적, 실용적, 경제적 가치를 창출하는 직무이면서 유관 콘텐츠산업과의 연계와 매개 가능성을 함의하고 있다는 측면에서 게임연구의 활성화지점의 매개로서 충분하다는 것이 연구자의 견해이다. 이 같은 주장의 전개를 위하여 국내에서 탄생한 온라인게임에 초점을 맞추고 국내 온라인게임의 전형이 되고 있는 핵 앤 슬래쉬(Hack & Slash) 방식과 허구적 공간에서의 게임화된 사회경험을 추구하는 스토리텔링 방식의 분석을 통해 국내형 온라인게임이 성취한 디자인 좌표를 검증하고, 이를 통해 국내 게임산업에 대두되고 있는 위기 스펙트럼과의 연관성은 어떤 것이며, 디자인은 어떠한 방향으로 매개되어야 할 것인지에 대한 의제로 접근하였다.

There has been highly increased interests in serious games as a result of the development of game industry. But there are limitations in further development due to negative aspects of game in spite of positive aspects of serious game. Recently, related studies have made efforts to provide positive outcomes of serious games. This study examine to analyze the impact of knowledge acquisition among the various outcome variables in serious games. Through the study, we examine the literature review about knowledge acquisition in various domain on serious games and identify the methodology for assessing outcome variables especially knowledge acquisition.
