Learning Daily Calorie Intake Standard using a Mobile Game
This addresses the problem of educating people about nutrition and calorie standards, but it is incremental as it confirms existing findings on game-based learning.
The researchers developed and evaluated a mobile game called FoodCalorie to teach users about calorie intake standards for traditional Bangladeshi foods, finding that game-based learning enhances the learning experience.
Mobile games can contribute to learning at greater success. In this paper, we have developed and evaluated a novel educational game, named FoodCalorie, to learn the food calorie intake standards. Our game is aimed to learn the calorie values of various traditional Bangladeshi foods and the calorie intake standard that varies with age and gender. Our study confirms the finding of existing studies that game-based learning can enhance the learning experience.
