Liu, Zhichun; Moon, Jewoong; Kim, Byungjoo; Dai, Chih-Pu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2020
In this synthesis, we systematically review research on educational games with adaptivity. Although an adaptive gaming experience provides personalization to learning, the complexity of design makes it difficult to evaluate its effectiveness. In this systematic review, we adopt three analytic approaches: (1) bibliometric analysis, (2) qualitative…
