Abstract:
Sophisticated Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) instruments as training simulations and Serious Games (SG) don´t provide knowledge content in explicit form, but propose interactive solutions for learners to build their own skills and competences in close to real situations. Thus, expert knowledge should be implicitly embedded into design of SG and training simulations. The present paper will discuss the problem of expert knowledge elicitation for building SG, and will analyze the use of cognitive task analysis methods for SG. There will be discussed the use of Applied Cognitive Task Analysis (ACTA) as effective and time-efficient tool for codification of expert skills in the context of Serious games and complex TEL simulations.
