About

Games developed by Robert G. Kelley, Ph.D.

• This application was initially developed during a Spring 2018 sabbatical at MiraCosta College. Development of the games is based upon perceptual learning theory. Special thanks to Mr. John Kelley for assistance with Unity.

Assumptions, Goals & Purpose

• Learning can be fun and occur through game-like testing (e.g., frequent, rapid, low stakes)

• It is important to make connections between different presentation modalities (e.g., Pearson's r vs. scatterplot; Z test vs. distribution of sample means graph).

• The time needed to develop expertise can be shortened: Using numerous non-repeating examples, in multiple formats, provides people with the opportunity to test their understanding frequently with immediate performance feedback.

Integration into Your Course Management System (CMS)

• These games can be embedded into a quiz in a course management system (CMS). Provide the student with a four digit passcode of your choosing, and the student can then report back the resulting 'Completion Code' earned for successful game play.
