"Sketch-Based Educational Games: 'Drawing' Kids Away from Traditional Interfaces"

by Brandon Paulson, Brian Eoff, Aaron Wolin, Joshua Johnston, Tracy Hammond

Summary

This paper introduces games developed using LADDER. These games help promote kinesthetic and
tactile learning of child. The games include memory games, simple physics simulation games, games to learn shapes and geography, as well as a system for providing feedback about sentence diagramming.

User tests on graduate students give positive feedback. User tests on children are delayed by IRB constraint.


Discussion

Interesing! I hope to see more complicated games in the future (like real-time strategy game where players can draw their armies and give instructions.)
