Learning when serious: Psychophysiological evaluation of a technology-enhanced learning game. Cowley, B., Fantato, M., Jennett, C., Ruskov, M., & Ravaja, N. Journal of educational technology & society, 17(1):3–16, 2014. abstract bibtex We report an evaluation study for a novel learning platform, motivated by the growing need for serious game assessment methods.The method was a laboratory experiment combining evaluation methods from the fields of learning assessment and psychophysiology. 15 participants used the TARGET game platform for 25 minutes, while the bio-signals electrocardiography, electrodermal activity and facial electromyography were recorded. Learning was scored using pre- and post-test question-based assessments Repeated-measures analysis with Generalised Estimating Equations was used to predict scores by tonic psychophysiological data.Results indicate some learning effect, plus a relationship between mental workload (indexed by electrocardiography) and learning. We conclude that the best quality of insight is afforded by the combination of subjective self-report and objective psychophysiology.
