Abstract
Students often encounter difficulties when trying to understand the concept of object-orientation (OO). For learners specially for beginners, the harmonization between the concept of the real world and the concept of OO seems to be very serious and requires a modest and attractive approach. It is also challenging for an educator to align the learning objectives with learning outcomes by continuously monitoring the students progression of learning without disrupting the flow of learning. OOg, a Serious Game (SGs) approach, designed to help students to learn OO interactively and engagingly. OOg integrates Stealth Assessment (SA) technology to continuously monitor individual students interaction with the game to use an adaptive selection of activities and provides tailored feedback for the achievement of better learning outcomes. This article provides initial evidence that SA is likely to be included in the SGs to enhance teaching and learning. Future work involves analyzing and comparing the results of SA with external assessments.
