Introduction to Games-Based Learning

Games-based.learning.takes.advantage.of.gaming.technologies.to.create.a.fun,.motivating,.and.interactive. virtual. learning. environment. that. promotes. situated. experiential. learning.. Many. researchers. now.believe.that.this.approach.can.better.motivate.present.day.entertainment-driven.learners.to.more. thoroughly engage in learning through meaningful activities defined in the game context as opposed to those.offered.using.more.traditional.didactic.approaches..This.chapter.describes.games-based.learning,. the.related.terms.and.scope,.current.approaches,.embedded.pedagogies.and.challenges.for.providing. high-quality.education.in.the.21st.Century.
