SERIOUS GAME DEVELOPMENT FOR EDUCATORS - A SERIOUS GAME LOGIC AND STRUCTURE MODELING LANGUAGE

Serious games are applications combining educational content with gameplay by integrating learning objectives into a game-like environment. These games keep up the player's motivation to continue playing, and hence learning, throughout the game. So, the more fun the game is, the more the players will learn, since they use the game more often and intensively. This characteristic is highly sought after in educational contexts, making serious games a big asset for didactics, as they can also yield higher learning success than presenting material in a classical, non-computer based, way.
