Research Abstract

We developed an authoring system to automatically generate a computer-based educational game. The authoring system is based on the model that is a structured representation of a set of concepts within a card game and the relationships between those concepts. The model is also useful for analysis and improvement of existing educational game. In experimental evaluations of the authoring system, the system generated 487 educational games. We confirmed that authors who had no knowledge and experiment about programming and educational game could generate educational games with the authoring system.
