Web-Based Game to Improve Learning of Driver Behavior and Control at Signalized Intersections

Web games provide a platform for creative instructional activities that can capture the students’ attention towards the course. These games can be used to emulate the realistic situations which can be used as effective lab experiments that could give the students a hands-on experience using real world scenarios. This paper presents a web game that complements a Traffic Engineering course. The game format is carefully designed to supplement the class learning in a fun environment. The paper also provides a methodological framework for collecting data about student engagement in the game and their views on using different learning technologies for educational purpose.
