Analyzing the Use of SQL Scrolls

Abstract

SQL Scrolls is an educational game developed as an extensible DGBL experiment to support knowledge acquisition in a database course through SQL training exercises. The game is used by students at the FHNW as a supplemental learning tool for the Database Technology module, however, due to a lack of reports regarding its usage patterns, it proved difficult to find ways in which to improve its effectiveness. The aim of this project was to facilitate improvements of SQL Scrolls by analyzing the current state of the tool to implement reports which can assist in understanding usage patterns.
