“…Simulations and SGs have been used in a diverse range of emergency training and escalating situation scenarios including combat training, [52], [53], [54], [55] healthcare training, [56], [57], industrial emergency management training, [58], and civil defence emergencies [59], [60]. However, military or medical emergency response personnel undertake training with a clear understanding that there is a high level of certainty they will have to apply their learning in an emergency situation.…”

The research conducted a thorough review of evidence and effectiveness of digital serious games (SGs) for communication of action-oriented key messages (related to tsunami evacuation) to children. Significant scientific research investigates tsunami risk which is not always effectively communicated to children who are expected to make appropriate decisions during a tsunami event. SGs can motivate children and enhance risk communication. Computing technologies offer a delivery platform to access digital SGs which require little educator training and motivate learners. The research reviewed evidence of effective SGs that address tsunami risk and are deployable by educators. Based on this review, it is evident that very few suitable classroom deployable, digital SGs that address tsunami evacuation decision-making are available. Results showed only 2 suitable, available games. Similarly, while general evidence of the effectiveness of digital SGs was found, the evaluation of and evidence for the specific effectiveness of the available games was extremely limited. The education establishment and disaster community could exploit SG technology more effectively to communicate natural hazard risk to children in a global context where such risk is increasing. The research informs future game development projects which need to embrace comprehensive stakeholder involvement and inputs. Recommendations for serious game development projects are proposed.

“…The frequently evaluated criteria are the usefulness of the game, the domain, the understandability, the motivation, the kind of the game, the feedback and the objective of the game (Bellotti et al, 2013). The learning outcomes in turn are a very selective criterion of SG (Mayer, 2012) (Ra et al, 2016) (Arnab et al, 2015). Other studies have proposed tools and databases of games where we find an educational games collected and analyzed by certain number of criteria.…”

Identify the games that best meet the needs and expectations of teachers and objectives of their courses remains a necessity about the integration of serious games among active teaching methods. Indeed, several serious games have developed in recent years, and it is often difficult for a teacher, not a computer scientist in particular, to find a game that meets these specific needs. Our aim is to develop models and tools enabling the teacher to find serious games adapted to his needs, considering user feedback and their traces of interaction with the game. To this end, we have explored the evaluation methods of serious games as well as methods of extracting knowledge from traces and texts. In this paper, we present our method of knowledge extraction of educational objectives. Thus, our proposal is assisting and supporting teachers/trainers to choose serious games and easily integrate them into their learning processes and devices.
