Evaluation of User Experience in the context of Mobile Serious Game

Abstract

There is growing interest in Mobile Serious Game and their use as learning devices for higher education. Nevertheless, few studies have considered the evaluation of the use of Mobile Serious Game in teaching code logic to beginners. In this paper, we try to fill this gap by presenting the evaluation of the User Experience on the use of the Marco Run which is a very popular game for learning the basics of programming, a central theme in the teaching of computer science. This Mobile Serious Game is designed to enrich the traditional learning of this topic by proposing progressive levels that integrate the fundamental concepts of algorithmic. The feedback is quite positive and confirms the good performance of the use of Mobile Serious Game in teaching the basics of programming.
