Abstract

This paper present a design and implementation of a Contents Management System (CMS) to be integrated into a game that uses a Digital Game-based Learning (DGBL) approach for helping tourists learn about tourism spots as a part of the Package Tour Application. In terms of design, this paper shows a system architecture that consists of a database to store the game's content such as tourism spot information, score and question configuration, score history, et cetera, a web application to manage the content and a Rest API to delivers the content to the mobile game. Meanwhile, in terms of implementation, MySQL database and PHP programming language are used. Moreover, a time response performance evaluation is conducted which resulted in between 0.77 s to 1.4 s from CMS to the database. Once successfully integrated with the game, the CMS will allow the game to be played on multiple tours simultaneously, without having to rebuild the game for every package tour group.

본 논문은 패키지 투어에 참여하는 여행자들에게 관광 명소에 대한 정보를 디지털 게임 기반 학습(DGBL) 방식으로 제공하는 모바일 애플리케이션 개발의 핵심인 콘텐츠 관리 시스템(CMS)의 설계 및 구현 결과를 담고 있다. 설계 측면에서 이 CMS는 여행자 정보, 관광 명소 정보, 질문과 점수 구성 등 학습 게임 콘텐츠를 저장하는 데이터베이스, 저장 콘텐츠를 관리하기 위한 웹 애플리케이션, 그리고 모바일 학습 게임과의 연동을 위한 Rest API로 구성된다. CMS 구현을 위해 PHP 프로그래밍 언어와 MySQL 데이터베이스 관리 시스템을 사용하였으며, 성능 평가 결과 CMS와 데이터베이스 간에 0.77초에서 1.4초 사이의 평균 응답 시간을 보여줌을 확인하였다. 본 논문에서 개발한 CMS는 패키지 투어 여행자를 위한 모바일 학습 게임 구현에 실제 적용할 예정이며, 패키지 투어 그룹이 달라지더라도 게임을 재구성할 필요가 없는 융통성을 제공함을 알 수 있다.
