Juegos educativos

Game-based learning is becoming popular in the academic discussion of Learning Technologies. However, even though the educational potential of games has been thoroughly discussed in the literature, the integration of the games into educational processes and how to efficiently deliver the games to the students are still open questions. This paper addresses the aspects of integration and automatic deployment of educational games in Learning Management Systems.

 El grupo e-UCM está orientado al desarrollo de herramientas y aplicaciones para e-learning sustentadas en tecnologías como los lenguajes de marcado (e.g. XML) y que tienen en cuenta los estándares (e.g. IMS, SCORM) para lograr una mayor compatibilidad de las soluciones propuestas.

The notion of using games in education is as old as games themselves. In addition, the massive market opened by the digital games industry has caused great interest regarding their specific potential in education. However, this interest is sometimes thwarted by the resistance of traditional educational settings toward technology-enhanced learning and digital games. The future, on the contrary, is much more promising within the eLearning field. This field is in a process of evolution and reinvention, seeking new features and ideas to improve the learning experience.
