Game-Based Learning/Serious Games continue to go from strength to strength across all sectors. While games have become more complex, mainly due to advanced in technology, challenges remain regarding measurement. Questions around, how do we measure the success of play, motivate after a game gets boring or simply add new elements to our games are burning questions. In this session we explore the value of sentiment analysis as a tool to support game measurement & continuous improvement. Through sentiment analysis, implementers have an opportunity to extract, classify and explore participants experiences for continuous improvement and better understand their players.
