Developing an adaptive serious game based on students´ bio-feedback

This paper describes the design and development of an educational game that is adapted based on the psychophysiological measures of the player. The particular measurements are collected using a bio-feedback device and they consist of skin conductance, skin temperature, and heart rate. The adaptation of the game aims to increase the engagement of the players by making the game more challenging when they are feeling bored or nervous. The proposed system will be evaluated in a series of activities in tertiary education.
