The research aimed to produce an Android-based earning media with local cultural content in the form of the othok-othok toy ship to improve the competence of diagrammatic and argumentative representation in Physics. 4D methods were used with a control and an experimental class in the first grade of a Senior High School. The learning media development began with aprior analysis, followed by an initial product design, judgment by experts and practitioners, and finally the restricted, and field testing.The media feasibility instrument was validated by experts and physics teachers. A test instrument of an essay-type was first validated by experts and an empirical test to 100 other students participating as test takers on condition that they had already studied the material. The data collection technique was through tests, N-Gain and MANOVA were used to analyse data. The research results indicated that the Android-based learning media with local content in the form of the othok-othok toy ship are able to improve the competence of diagrammatic and argumentative representation in physics learning. The media is applicable to use as physics learning media both inside and outside the classroom.

Design and Development Game Chinese Language Learning with Gamification and Using Mnemonic Method

Interactive narratives are widely used to frame and contextualize education in games. However, the specifics of how their designs aid the learning process and outcomes remains relatively unexplored. To better understand this space, a study was conducted that focused on one sub-genre of interactive narrative, Visual Novels. Specifically, in this paper we conducted a survey of thirty-one existing educational Visual Novels, analyzing design elements that fostered learning and delivered educational content. The resulting taxonomy consists of five key dimensions for educational design and teaching strategies within Visual Novels: 1) Teaching Through Choice, 2) Teaching Through Scripted Sequences, 3) Teaching Through Mini-games, 4) Teaching Through Exploration and 5) Non-interactive Teaching. These dimensions demonstrate that there are a number of design considerations for supporting learning through Visual Novels. This work has implications for designers of educational games by classifying the different designs a Visual Novel can employ to teach—ultimately informing how to better present educational subject matter in interactive narrative games.

A (Visual) Novel Route to Learning: A Taxonomy of Teaching Strategies in Visual Novels

Visual Novel (VN) is a widely recognizable genre of narrative-focused games that has grown in popularity over the past decade. Surprisingly, despite being so widely recognizable, there is not a singular definition to help guide the design and analysis of such games---with academic definitions and implementations ranging from "interactive textbooks" to "adventure games with multi-ending stories". In this paper, we present a unified definition of VNs drawn from an analysis of 30 prior academic definitions. We also examined 54 existing VNs to further refine our definition and employ a deeper analysis of the interactivity within VNs. We highlight key features of VNs that arise in our definition, and discuss resulting implications for the design of VNs. This work is relevant for narrative game designers and researchers, affording a more unified structure and clearer guidelines to identify, analyze, and design future VN games.

What is a Visual Novel

Supplementary learning material for the text Genki II Beginner's Japanese, including grammar practices and the Chinese characters (Kanji). Japanese/English.

初級日本語げんき = An integrated course in elementary Japanese

This paper discusses the use of ABKD, a multimodal mobile learning game that aims to help Filipino students remember and increase their Chinese Hanzi and Japanese Kanji vocabularies by engaging them in a collaborative game-like group activity and challenging their creativity and imagination through drawing, taking pictures, and audio recording. Feedback from language learners reveal that ABKD has the potential to make learning and remembering Hanzi and Kanji characters easier, more fun, and more interesting.

ABKD: Multimodal Mobile Language Game for Collaborative Learning of Chinese Hanzi and Japanese Kanji Characters

The rapid growth of mobile learning is influenced by the ability to access learning content anytime and anywhere. The on demand capability is available because mobile devices allow for convergence of internet and communications technologies. At the same time, the availability of engines makes development of mobile applications faster and seamless. However, not all mobile development engines are alike. This paper discusses on the development of mobile learning applications using mobile development engines in teaching Filipinos on responsible voting. Specifically, this paper discusses how AndEngine, Ren’Py, and homegrown Usbong were used to develop a mobile board game and a mobile comic book to promote responsible voting to the Filipino youth.

ABKD: Multimodal Mobile Language Game for Collaborative Learning of Chinese Hanzi and Japanese Kanji Characters.

This paper discusses the use of ABKD, a multimodal mobile learning game that aims to help Filipino children and young adults remember and increase their Chinese Hanzi and Japanese Kanji vocabularies by engaging them in a collaborative game-like group activity and challenging their creativity and imagination through drawing, taking pictures, and audio recording. Feedback from language learners after playing the game reveals that ABKD has the potential to make learning and remembering Hanzi characters easier, more fun, and more interesting.
