This study designed a digital teaching game named Kitties' Magic Journey (KMJ). The principle of leveraging in the course of natural technology and life was used as the teaching subject. The game combined design items included animation, narrative story, fun and usability, which integrated ARCS learning motivation theory. The experimental group…

Studies on digital game-based language learning (DGBLL) have increased in numbers, creating a pool of studies that can be meta-analyzed to measure the overall effect of digital gaming on second language (L2) development. The current meta-analysis targets digital games that were available to the public at the time of data collection, January of…

The periodic table allows students to easily understand the chemical elements and predict the behavior of theoretical yet undiscovered new elements. Many memorization techniques have been used for learning the periodic table, yet serious games (i.e., designed for a primary purpose other than pure entertainment) have been underexplored to…
