“…Acknowledging the complex relationships among decision-making factors in transportation activities, numerous research has introduced engineering education strategies to support basic learning. Adaptive learning is one of the popular techniques based on educational computer games ( 27 ). It features role-play or simulation to provide effective, efficient, and customized learning experiences to engage with students.…”

With K-12 students from diverse social and cultural backgrounds in the classroom today, it is crucial to develop a more inclusive and socially diverse curriculum, especially in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics. Transportation in particular is a topic that can relate to people’s culture and can be a suitable medium to introduce diversity and inclusion in STEM fields. Culturally responsive teaching (CRT) is a technique that can help connect students’ cultures, languages, and life experiences with their learning. Despite the known benefits of CRT, this strategy had not been adequately implemented in transportation education because of the limited awareness and knowledge of educators. This research contributes to the literature by investigating the current state of knowledge, awareness, and resources present in transportation pedagogy and investigates the feasibility of transportation as a suitable topic to incorporate culturally responsive learning strategies through surveys and workshops with pre-service science teachers and the future transportation workforce. Five key elements emerged from the analysis. First, the existing lack of diversity in STEM curriculum started to change to be inclusive. Second, teachers’ awareness and preparation are crucial for creating quality educational materials. Third, curriculum topics that can relate to cultural components in daily living enhance social diversity in transportation education. Therefore, fourth, transportation can be a good curriculum topic and, fifth, barriers including the difficulty of incorporating many cultural components, privacy, and legal issues still exist. The identified gaps and highlighted areas can contribute to the current state of knowledge and practice of CRT in STEM and transportation pedagogy.

“…Computer-based Educational Games can be modeled to deliver specific learning objectives and can pave the way for adaptive learning and role-play and simulations [1]. Since games can be recreational and engaging, the introduction of a game into a course can motivate students toward better understsanding by iteratively covering the course material [2].…”

Effective education in the field of traffic operations and control requires efficient delivery of theory, applications, and live demonstration or tutorials to help students understand the subject. While practical engineering knowledge is usually imparted through carefully designed experiments conducted in laboratories, traffic operations require repetitive observation of traffic behavior (or simulated traffic) under different control actions. This paper describes a web game developed on a .NET framework to complement a Traffic Engineering course. The game is assessed for its impact on student engagement using survey questions based on the Situational Motivational Scale (SIMS).

“…de-la-Fuente-Valentín et al (2008) also focus on supporting the design and deployment of Computer Supported Collaborative Learning on distant scenarios. A different approach is taken by Zeng and Zhou (2007), which analyses how game-based learning can be implemented with IMS LD, showing how Learning Design elements have a correspondence with game design ones. Towle and Halm (2005) point out that, thanks to properties and conditions, IMS LD is suitable to be used in the context of adaptive hypermedia (AH) orchestration.…”

IMS Learning Design is a specification to capture the orchestration taking place in a learning scenario. This paper presents an extension called Generic Service Integration. This paradigm allows a bidirectional communication between the course engine in charge of the orchestration and conventional Web 2.0 tools. This communication allows the engine to configure external services so as to adjust their behav-iour, and also retrieve information about their activity and use it to influence the orchestration process. This extension impacts all the phases of the life cycle of a learning activity: authoring, deployment and enactment. The paper analyses this impact and proposes appropriate adjustments. A pilot test was conducted and the obtained results show that learning experiences that adapt their flow-based on third party tools while maintaining interoperability, reusability and self-containment requirements are feasible.
