This paper introduces a serious game called freCman developed for C programming language beginners. Since key words, syntax, and programming structure of C programming language are unfamiliar for them, they feel uneasy and have many difficulties to study. We developed three games such as shooting star C, finding hidden errors, unscrambling C codes through which C beginners can study C language easily. Also we developed CTS(Code to Speech) which speeches C source codes like English statements so that C beginners can be familiar with C key words and statements. To prove effectiveness of the freCman, some experiments have been conducted with C language beginners. Experiment results show that the freCman helps beginners studying C programming language much.

The purpose of this study were to develop VR-based cooking serious game(VR-Cook) for students with intellectual disabilities and to validate effectiveness. The VR-Cook was developed using the ASSURE model. Twenty students with intellectual disabilities were participated to verify effectiveness. Ten students were assigned to the experimental group and the others to the control group. The control group received traditional interventions, and the experimental group participated in the intervention combining traditional intervention with VR-Cook. Evaluations were made at three times, and evaluation data were analyzed with repeated two-way ANOVA.

Given the lack of suitable quality evaluation standards for educational serious games (designed for both entertainment and instruction), we designed a development framework for evaluation standards of educational serious games and proceeded to develop standards in accordance with our proposed procedure. Our standards were designed to evaluate the quality of both technical and non-technical elements of educational serious game software products. We conducted a survey on the need for individual elements of the standard. Participants rated the need for each element on a five-point Likert scale. We then performed a reliability analysis of the survey results. Based on the survey results, we established a final standard for quality evaluation composed of 9 main elements and 31 sub-elements. The results of our research will contribute useful information to users as well as to the developers of educational serious games.

This study was developed as a mobile serious game app (Roly Poly 160 App) based on a prototype model and then used in a public health center for diabetes patients. The mobile serious game application upgraded the mobile version of Roly Poly 160, which is a content for diabetes self-management of the existing PC version, by requesting to charge service of G city. The study period was from February 19, 2018 to May 11, 2018, and users were allowed to access the Roly Poly 160 app at least once a day for a total of 8 to 12 weeks after the preliminary investigation. As a result, HbA1C was significantly decreased(p=0.04), and diabetic knowledge was significantly higher than that before the follow-up(p=0.01). After applying Roly Poly 160 App, Satisfaction score was 3.74 out of 5 points
