Design, implementation, and evaluation of a game-based application for aiding chemical engineering and chemistry students to review the organic reactions

Abstract

This article presents a multilingual (Portuguese, Spanish, English, and French) game-based application to the Android and the iOS platforms. The game allows undergraduate Chemical Engineering and Chemistry students to individually review organic reactions in an engaging and fun way by answering over 600 multi-choice questions. Undergraduate students tested and evaluated the game, and their opinions revealed that they liked to use the game as a complementary educational tool able to aid them in their studies. Moreover, the usability assessment of the game provided a good SUS score close to 79.
