Digital Educational Games: Methodologies for Evaluating the Impact of Game Type
Our main research question is how the choice of game type influences the success of digital educational games (DEGs), where success is defined as significant domain-specific knowledge gain (learning outcome) with positive player experience.
We propose a ...
