To complement the eZB platform and to add value to the experience of contributors and readers, a learning game for literature called MyGame-4U was developed and is currently being tested. MyGame-4U, is a platform which contains a game template allowing any contributor to add quiz questions on any type of material (text audio or multimedia material). The main question format incorporated into the template is that of Multiple-Choice Question which by nature offers a flexible means to ask different types of questions. MyGame-4U is also designed for both contributors who want to add questions to the database and for game users who want to take the challenge of answering the questions posted.
In other words, the originality of our system is that for example both teachers and students can be involved in the creation process. The “teachers” can create game mechanics in the form of question templates and the students can create games through the injection of a specific content. Because the question templates are available to all users (teachers and students alike), contributors can open up the templates, personalize them and inject the content of any book.
