Abstract

Metrocycle is a browser-based road safety education game developed to reinforce proper driving behaviors among Filipino motorcycle and bicycle riders through a gamified education approach. However, like any application, many of its aspects, such as user interface and user experience (UI/UX), accessibility, and educational scope, can be further developed to realize its full potential. This paper presents the features implemented to address these areas and create an improved version of the game, aptly called Metrocycle 2.0. The effectiveness of these improvements was evaluated through various validation tests among inexperienced riders, experienced drivers, and domain experts. One of these tests, a comparative software evaluation of the original (1.0, hereafter) and 2.0 using the Game-based Learning Evaluation Model (GEM), showed a positive reception to the changes made. Six (6) design and learning indicators earned significant differences between the two versions: action language, feedback, game world, controls, self-efficacy, and motivation. These positive results highlighted the value of improving these three areas to create an effective educational game.
