Fotaris, Panagiotis; Mastoras, Theodoros; Leinfellner, Richard; Rosunally, Yasmine – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2016
Conventional taught learning practices often experience difficulties in keeping students motivated and engaged. Video games, however, are very successful at sustaining high levels of motivation and engagement through a set of tasks for hours without apparent loss of focus. In addition, gamers solve complex problems within a gaming environment…
