Abstract To develop competence through e-learning tools, students must be motivated to use these tools. Hence, we conducted two empirical studies to explore the motivating potential of an adaptive video role playing game (AVR) for training communication competencies. In Study 1 (N = 54), we used a within-person design to examine students’ motivation in three learning conditions: in the classroom, when playing the AVR, and when doing homework. The results showed that, relative to the homework condition, in the AVR condition students were higher in perceived competence, relatedness, intrinsic motivation, and flow. No difference between the classroom condition and the AVR condition were found. In Study 2 (N = 150), we used a randomized experimental design to examine the motivational consequences of using videos (AVR) rather than photos (APR) in the adaptive role playing game. We found that, relative to students in the APR condition, students in the AVR condition were higher in relatedness and flow. No differences in perceived competence, autonomy, and intrinsic motivation were observed. We conclude that an AVR may have considerable motivational benefits relative to common homework assignments, and some motivational benefits relative to an APR. Keywords: e-learning, video role play, games, motivation, flow

E-learning, or learning via a computer or mobile device, is growing. It can take many forms, such as an annotated PowerPoint presentation, a tutorial, or an interactive role-playing game .The possibilities are endless. Today, 80% of companies and communities have done a number of interesting and effective e-learning solutions, and 30% of all professional training are e-learning courses. The development of these platforms is based mainly on different technologies. This technological diversity can make comparing or managing E-learning platforms difficult, and the choice of a given platform will be also complex. Therefore, to address this problem, this paper proposes a solution to generate a PSM model based on n-tier architecture from a PIM model. The language used is the QVT (Query View Transformation) transformation language.

Role Playing Game

In the scientific article the essence and significance of learning through play or game learning are determined in the training of future bank employees on a practical example of a role-playing game. Increasing demands on the quality of professional training of future bank employees for the effective work in terms of development of market relations of the current economic instability, crisis phenomena in the financial and banking sphere, the process of professional training of future bankers requires the use of modern methods and teaching methods, especially those that form the active creative activity of students.Learning through play or game learning is such active teaching method with modern advances of computer technology, the global Internet network. The methods of active learning are a set of means of organization and management of training and learning activity. These methods are characterized by the following factors: forced students' activity, independent decision making in conditions of increased motivation and emotionality, constant interaction of the educational system and students. The examples of teacher-student interaction were analyzed.In the scenario of role play the knowledge, skills and abilities are practically defined that student should learn after participating in the role-playing game. The complete scenario of the role-play "Credit insurance" is provided, which consists of the preparation of game, goals, the game content, time-stamped scenario and results. The head of the game is the teacher who conducts practical classes.The game is conducted at the practical lesson on the discipline "Insurance Culture" after the lecture "Insurance Culture in Deposit Insurance and Financial and Credit Risks"Students' activity is increasing during role and business games, which is an important factor in receiving of a significant amount of knowledge and building skills and competencies for the same period of time on the traditional method of teaching (seminars and practical classes).Key words: role-playing game, professional competencies, pedagogical method, role-playing game scenario.

Role Playing Game

This chapter reports on movements toward de facto standards for role playing games in the freely accessible and configurable shared virtual environment of Second Life. All users can not only freely join, but also construct and implement role playing games of their own design. Consequently, new games are constantly emerging, and others either persisting or failing. The resulting body of practice has implications for business, technological, and social dimensions of computer games. To elucidate these implications, this chapter presents the case of the Role Play Nexus, a venue created for role playing game designers, managers, and players to share experiences, questions, resources, and proposals for sustainable ventures and communities in Second Life. Issues, controversies, and problems are identified, and solutions and recommendations discussed. Source material is drawn from transcripts of public lectures, discussions and demonstrations, from interviews, and from participant observation.

Abstract Education at universities requires a high proportion of self-study supported by instruments which motivate students to deepen their knowledge with case studies and training software. The gain in learning is higher when what is learned is reflected by others in a cooperative process. The Class Peer Review (CPR) requires from students to evaluate each other but lecturers lose a lot of time when applying it during the lecture. Research on CPR shows many different approaches to how this method should be carried out effectively and many of them still demand a high presence of the lecturer. In contrast to most studies, this article reports the results of a CPR conducted outside the classroom and assisted by a web-supported role playing game representing a publisher where a common online class journal is used as an incentive and motivational element. The effectiveness of CPR was examined by means of a quasi-experimental study. It turned out that the experimental group used the training software significantly more frequently in addition to the lecture materials and a meaningful increase in group dynamics was recorded. Also female students were more motivated to continue this type of group work in the future. Final grades were better under CPR conditions, but the effect was statistically weak. Basically, the CPR method seems to be an effective tool to extend problem-based teaching to the self-learning phase if practiced in combinaktion with a role play and fictive Class-Journals as incentive. This provides further potential to e-learning instruments.

Teza: Artykuł porusza kwestię wykorzystywania gier fabularnych (ang. RPG - Role Playing Game) w procesie edukacyjnym, ale także terapeutycznym. Autor dąży do zestawienia aktualnych danych krajowych i zagranicznych na ten temat. Podstawowym założeniem, jakie jest motywem przewodnim artykułu jest analiza procesu dydaktycznego pod kątem wartości doświadczenia własnego i spontanicznej aktywności. Omówione koncepcje: Zaprezentowane badania pochodzą z praktyki pedagogicznej lub terapeutycznej wykorzystującej gry fabularne. Różnorodność tej rozrywki sprawia, że niektóre z prac skupiają się na aspekcie klasycznych gier RPG, inne zaś bardziej na teatralnych grach fabularnych (ang. LARP - Live Action Role Play), często w uproszczonej formie gier dramowych. Wyniki i wnioski: Zasadność używania gier fabularnych w edukacji opiera się na wartości doświadczenia własnego oraz wyciągania z niego wniosków, które pełni istotną funkcję w  procesie nauczania. Uczestnictwo całym sobą w grze osadzonej w realiach historycznych lub z użyciem języka obcego, znacząco podnosi poziom zaangażowania uczniów oraz jakość ich przemyśleń. Jednocześnie wielu badaczy zwraca uwagę na trudności metodologiczne w ustaleniu rzeczywistej efektywności gier RPG jako metody nauczania. Pojawiające się w badaniach refleksje autorów zmierzają do wspólnego stanowiska, mówiącego, że zarówno brak rzetelnych badań dotyczących gier fabularnych, jak również olbrzymia schematyczność obecna w polskim kształceniu sprawiają, iż szerokie stosowanie gier różnego typu w trakcie lekcji wciąż pozostaje pojawiającą się sporadycznie ciekawostką, nie uznawaną za wartościową metodę. Wartość poznawcza podejścia: Praca ma charakter zestawiający polskie opracowania z zagranicznymi i dokonuje porównania tych badań, co prowadzi do stosunkowo krytycznych wniosków dotyczących stanu polskiej edukacji i myślenia o istotności osobistego doświadczenia zarówno w nauce, jak i procesie terapeutycznym. Słowa kluczowe: gry fabularne, RPG, LARP, CRPG, edukacja, terapia, uczenie się przez doświadczenie.

The article discusses the prospects of role-playing games in the educational process to increase students’ motivation and involvement, as well as the possibility of modern information technologies (primarily social networks) for constructing innovative forms of such games. The author’s format of the live-action role-playing game is presented. It was developed and tested at the Saratov State University. It involves the integration of numerous educational tasks into a single plot, within which each participant plays a role and communicates with other participants to complete tasks. The main interaction, plot development and group activities occur in dialogs, conversations and groups of social networks. This approach has shown its viability in teaching legal disciplines, and also has prospects for use in IT education.
