Miller, Lee Dee; Shell, Duane; Khandaker, Nobel; Soh, Leen-Kiat – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2011
Computer games have long been used for teaching. Current reviews lack categorization and analysis using learning models which would help instructors assess the usefulness of computer games. We divide the use of games into two classes: game playing and game development. We discuss the Input-Process-Outcome (IPO) model for the learning process when…
