An integrated course based on educational games

It's not practical to integrate efficiently two subjects in face-to-face education. In this paper, by applying Web technology effectively, we develop a Web-based integrated course about the subjects like computing and English, which represent heterogeneity between each other from the perspective of discipline. We present the integrated course structure and lesson plans at middle schools. Also, we show that our interdisciplinary approach could be plausible and effective by using both Web technology and a variety of quiz & game-based learning materials. Specially, we develop the various types of educational games, which can be orthogonal to learning contents by constructing them through the parameters. Then, we evaluate the learning effects after teaching students the lesson using the lesson plans devised. The results show that the students in the integrated course did better than those in the traditional one in achieving the learning objectives given.
