Lara, Miguel Angel – ProQuest LLC, 2013
Extant research indicates that, in face-to-face settings, cooperative learning and game-based learning strategies can be effective. However, in online settings (e.g., in distance education), there is a paucity of research in this area. This study was designed to investigate performance and attitudes of university students who played an educational…

Dzeng, Ren-Jye; Lin, Ken-Yu; Wang, Pei-Ru – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2014
Game-based education is a promising method for encouraging student learning. Although learning construction procurement and negotiation require hands-on practice, in most construction management courses at the college level, this subject is taught by using lectures and case studies. In this study, a construction procurement and negotiation game…

De Grove, Frederik; Van Looy, Jan; Mechant, Peter – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2013
Learning opportunities offered by digital games have become an important research topic in recent years. Language learning is one of the areas in which games could prosper but the question then is whether these should be specialized language-learning games or commercial off-the-shelf games for entertainment. The goal of this paper is to compare…
