  • Summary

    Computer games for learning use multimedia elements such as animation and spoken or printed text to foster learning of academic skills or knowledge. Research on game-based learning can be categorized into three research genres: value added research, cognitive consequences research, and media comparison research. Value added research seeks to determine which game features promote learning. Cognitive consequences research seeks to determine whether students learn anything useful playing an off-the-shelf game. Media comparison research seeks to determine whether students learn better from computer games than from conventional media. Future research is needed that adds replication studies to the research base, determines moderating and mediating factors, examines how to implement games in learning contexts and how to balance motivational and cognitive features in games, and provides practical recommendations.

  • Learning innovation and design process is a necessity of the coming decade and games are a potential tool to do so. This paper proposes an extended taxonomy for categorising innovation and design games. The intent is to understand the essential, the similar and the different categories not only for development, but also for evaluation of innovation and design games, and in turn, help educators identify appropriate games for their learning objectives and curricula.
