Abstract
learning analytics is an emerging discipline focused on the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of learner interaction data through the E-learning contents. Serious game provides a potential source for relevant educational user data; it can propose an interactive environment for training and offer an effective learning process. This paper presents methods and approaches of educational data mining such as EM and K-Means to discuss the learning analytics through serious games, and then we provide an analysis of the player experience data collected from the educational game “ELISA” used to teach students of biology the immunological technique for determination of ANTI-HIV antibodies. Finally, we propose critically evaluation of our results including the limitations of our study and making suggestions for future research that links learning analytics and serious gaming.
Highlights
The learning analytics (LA) focuses on the collection, analysis and visualization of large amounts of data related to learning processes
During this paper we focus on sandwich Elisa procedure, this procedure requires the use of matched antibody pairs, where each antibody is specific for a different, non-overlapping part of the antigen molecule
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) game provided an effective environment of medical training; it proposed a new tool of learning for biological students at the Faculty of Sciences and Technologies (Tangier)
Summary
The learning analytics (LA) focuses on the collection, analysis and visualization of large amounts of data related to learning processes. Serious games can be designed to solve complex problems collaboratively, make learning process more efficient, achieve predictive modeling and real time visualization, and attain more retention of knowledge compared to traditional methods [2, 3]. We propose in this topic a serious game for immunological techniques. The immunological techniques are used to determine or measure an immune response, and antigens using antibodies; among the most used techniques, ELISA (Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is one of the widely biochemical method in analysis and diagnostics laboratory. ELISA combines the specificity of antibodies with highturnover catalysis by enzymes to provide specificity and sensitivity [4]
