TEAM TIME
Our dedicated research team strives to provide the most effective learning experience for our beneficiaries!
Our Research Engineer for digital learning, Melvin Zhang is conducting research on the ‘Elo rating system’ to determine a learner’s skill in our game ‘Dawn of Civilization’. The Elo rating system was initially developed as a chess rating system to calculate the player’s relative skill.
Taking inspiration from this, we are experimenting with the same system for determining our learner’s skill level in the game. Based on the learner’s choices throughout the game, their skill level would keep updating, and the most appropriate level of content would be visible to the player.
The benefit of this system is it will effectively help us determine if a learner is receiving questions of appropriate difficulty as the game can match question difficulty to the learner’s skill in a more dynamic way.
