E-learning game: Weibull fit wind energy
The central part of our present paper is an original game for attracting students towards resourceful applications of the Weibull distribution to energy related problems. Built on Android tablets, the game is intended to test students’ abilities for fitting Weibull based theoretical models to specified concrete problems. The Weibull distribution is particularly adequate for modeling wind energy together with statistical data connected to a particular region. Consequently, our game is based on an adventure story in which the Aeolian energy plays a determinant role. The pedagogical approach in this new game relies on our previous experience in building e-learning games. Thus, we have concealed the mathematical’ levels between the regular game’s levels. Consequently, a hopping to win player will have to deepen his knowledge in Probability and Statistics with notions beyond the university math curriculum.
