Abstract

Game-based assessment has attracted a lot of attention of educators and researchers in recent years. However, how to efficiently integrate and deploy the educational games in an e-learning environment is still an open question. In this study, a novel architecture integrating Learning Management Systems into cloud computing environments is proposed for game-based assessment. A prototype is constructed by using Moodle and Hadoop to conduct preliminary evaluation. In addition, interactive games are designed for diagnostic assessment in Mathematics. Survey results show that the proposed approach is promising for motivating the learners.
