“…As such, simple dynamics within a game such as a platformer game, remain an understudied genre within adult education. Limited studies on the use of platformers often focus on user experience and perceived learning with adult learners (Nasikun et al, 2017). Older studies on adults playing platformers for entertainment suggest the genre is popular (Zelinski & Reyes, 2009).…”

Digital serious games for adult learning have become a more prominent topic for research in recent years, yet platformer genre games for learning remain underexplored. Despite this, many adults enjoy platformer games for entertainment which presents the question of what about platformer games makes them less prominent in adult education learning games. Platformer games often focus on simple mechanics such as collecting and race to the finish which map well to lower-order learning but require more effort to map to higher-order learning. To address this case, we rapidly designed and developed a 2D platforming game prototype called Biomes Rescue for use in a large general-education undergraduate Geography course. The game follows an Indiana Jones-style character who collects and aligns items to different biomes by evaluating items collected. The problem follows the slime-like creatures: the enemy representing pollution that has impacted Earth’s biomes. Three biomes have been disassembled by the enemies and the player must rescue all four biomes by critically thinking about the characteristics of each. We actively tested and adjusted Biomes Rescue over the last three years and focus this case on the latest implementation, which addresses the alignment of game mechanics to higher-order learning and Knowles principles of Andragogy combined with games-based learning. We hypothesized participants would have an unbalanced view of the dexterity-centered mechanics tied to fun more so than learning. Our mixed-methods exploratory study aims to understand what mechanics connect to fun and to learning from the learner’s perspective using a quiz score - a newly added measure, and Likert scale ratings on Enjoyment with open-ended feedback. Data analysis consisted of thematic analysis and group differences on the quiz scores. This study holds implications for designing platformers for adult learners with an understanding of the differences in game mechanics application for engaging critical thinking.

The Caringin Banten Mosque is a historic relic that must be preserved and introduced to the public, but the condition of the historic mosque in Banten is no longer visible, therefore digitalization is needed so that people can know the historical events of the mosque. The technology that can be used to digitize the mosque building is Virtual Reality, which is a technology that allows users to see and interact with an environment that is simulated by a computer, so that users feel they are in that environment. Virtual Reality can be applied to various devices, one of which is currently widely used, namely Android. The purpose of this research is to produce a Virtual Reality application for the Caringin Banten Mosque based on an Android smartphone, with the hope of making it easier for the public to know and learn about the historical heritage of the Caringin Banten Mosque. This research method uses the Waterfall model from the SDLC. The stages are divided into 6 namely: System modeling, Software requirements analysis, Design, Coding, Testing and Maintenance. The author uses Blender software to create three-dimensional objects, then uses Unity software to create virtual reality applications. Based on testing, the application can run smoothly on the author's Android device. However, when tested by 10 (ten) people, the application still has some shortcomings. However, the application was successful in introducing the Caringin Banten Mosque to users.
