Abstract:
The human computer interaction issues associated with the
creation of personalized role playing simulations are discussed in
this paper. This paper is aimed at those who are interested in
building authoring applications which enable educators to build
role playing simulated e-learning resources to use with their
students. One of the main issues which have come to our
attention is that many learning designers and educators do not
understand what exactly it is we are trying to achieve by creating
personalized role playing simulations. Also, how to gauge the
pedagogic merits which can be achieved by using these e-learning
resources. Potential users require guidance on the most
appropriate uses for this authoring application. The provision of
exemplars of use of such personalized e-learning activities would
assist potential users in creating their own role playing
simulations. Other issues which are to be addressed in authoring
applications for creating personalized e-learning activities are:
documentation; training materials; preview mechanisms;
integration; usability; and the use of clear and relevant
terminology. Human acceptance is paramount to the effective
use of educational software which is designed to facilitate the
creation of personalized e-learning resources. In conclusion, if
the realization of an authoring application for creating
personalized role playing simulations is to be achieved the
following issues must be resolved: relevance to the learning
experience; efficiency in production; and improvements in the
human computer interaction
