Mobile Game for Practicing English Vocabulary
Hubík, Antonín ; Kanich, Ondřej (referee) ; Dyk, Tomáš (advisor)
Cílem této práce bylo navrhnout a implementovat multiplatformní vzdělávací mobilní hru pro procvičování a rozšiřování anglické slovní zásoby. Hra je založena na pravidlech slovní kopané a jí podobných her se slovy a obsahuje režim online hry dvou hráčů proti sobě. Aplikace využívá platformu .NET, kde je implementována v jazycích C# a XAML. Činnost mobilního klienta závisí na vzdálených službách, které byly nasazeny s využitím vhodných cloudových služeb a integračních možností platformy Microsoft Azure. Verze mobilní aplikace pro Android byla publikována prostřednictvím Google Play v režimu přístupu pro testování a ozkoušena na uzavřené skupině uživatelů s vlastními zařízeními. Na základě zpětné vazby z testování byly navrženy možnosti dodatečných vylepšení v oblastech odstranění technických slabin a přidání nových funkcionalit.

Cílem této práce je navrhnout a implementovat multiplatformní vzdělávací mobilní hru pro procvičování a rozšiřování anglické slovní zásoby. Hra je založena na pravidlech slovní kopané a jí podobných her se slovy a obsahuje minimální prototyp režimu online hry dvou hráčů proti sobě. Aplikace využívá platformu .NET, kde je implementována v jazycích C# a XAML. Části řešení dostatečně připravené pro produkční prostředí byly nasazeny s využitím vhodných cloudových služeb Microsoft Azure. Aplikace na Android byla publikována lokálně a ozkoušena na vybrané skupině uživatelů v rámci uzavřeného testování. Výsledky testování posloužily k určení stavu řešení v okamžiku dokončení práce a na na jejich základě byla navržena možná vylepšení nad rámec technických nedostatků a omezení.

Krump, Ondřej ; Mourek, Jan (advisor) ; Stratilová Urválková, Eva (referee)
Growing knowledge in the field of cognitive science can significantly improve the way we learn. Several methods and principles are being repeatedly confirmed by numerous studies as effective for learning. They include spaced repetition, test-enhanced learning, and desirable difficulty principle. With the continual spreading of ICT technologies, diverse software is being developed as well, some of which more and some of which less successfully employs the methods and principles outlined. Memrise, Purpose Games and Drill and Skill, web platforms which are examined in this thesis, belong to this software family. In the first phase, i conducted several interviews with teachers who were using Drill and Skill as part of their science teaching at elementary schools and a junior grammar school (all of them were teaching children approx. 11-15 years old). After this, i worked with a class from a grammar school (age around 16). i made several groups of educational games to help the students practice the topics studied in their biology lessons. Each group of games was reviewed during a group interview. Recordings from these interviews as well as from the interviews with the teachers were transcribed and these transcripts underwent qualitative analysis, which is an important part of the thesis.
