Israel-Fishelson, Rotem; Hershkovitz, Arnon – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2021
Persistence has been identified as a crucial quality of learning. However, it is hard to attain in online game-based environments as the drive to progress in the game may influence the ability to achieve the learning goals. This study aimed to examine the associations between micro-persistence, that is, the tendency to complete an individual task…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Hwang, Jisoo; Feng, Shi; Rebello, Sanjay; Zu, Tianlong; Kao, Dominic – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Previous work has identified that the benefits of learning with videogames and learning from simulations. However, recent meta-analytic work has also identified that little research directly compares learning with videogames and learning with simulations. Objectives: This study examines two learning technologies and their corresponding…
