Abstract: This paper presents personalized game-based modules for Computer Architecture eLearning (CoAeLearn Modules) which integrates personalized learning based on students' learning styles and preferences (individual properties, goals and needs) with elements of multimedia games. Modules are intended for effective and efficient learning on the Computer Architecture Course by means of entertainment incorporated into interactive game-based applications. Furthermore, the CoAeLearn Modules should motivate the students and provide them with challenging games, action and victory. Moreover, the modules allow a visualization of computer architecture elements as well as a traceability of actions stored in the memory registers. The challenge for educational researchers is to determine how to design games which would achieve the instructional objective. Here we present an idea of making the components, integrated in CoAeLearn Modules, which explicitly support learning goals via guidance, directive feedback and multimedia presentation essential for efficient learning. Presenting the modules by entertaining interactive approach, along with a visual indication of the task execution flow, enables the students to master the methods of solving the tasks in various subject areas and surmounting different levels of complexity of teaching material. Multimedia Modules are presented in the form of a software package and Adobe Flash CS4 is used to create multimedia content. The Modules can be distinguished by pedagogical parameters such as: the degree of guidance in the module, a module support by HELP and feedback information about the correct answers.
