Hong, Jon-Chao; Hwang, Ming-Yueh; Lu, Chin-Hsieh; Cheng, Ching-Ling; Lee, Yu-Chen; Lin, Chan-Li – Interactive Learning Environments, 2009
Playfulness steering is an emerging approach in educational game design and play. The integration of arithmetical computation, game strategy, and teamwork into one game allows players to interactively "steer" the playfulness and enhance learning. In this paper an evolutionary contest game was designed and implemented to examine the…
