David Tomczyk; Atul Teckchandani – Management Teaching Review, 2025
Despite the many theories supporting experiential learning, there is little guidance on how to design effective experiential exercises. To address this gap, we adapt insights from gamification research to devise a step-by-step process that management instructors may use to design effective experiential exercises for use in face-to-face and virtual…

Hsin-Yi Liang; Gwo-Jen Hwang; Tien-Yu Hsu; Jen-Yuan Yeh – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2024
Recently, alternate reality games (ARGs) have been applied in museum learning to encourage learners' active engagement through playful problem-solving activities. However, most learners have insufficient prior knowledge and metacognitive skills to complete the learning tasks in such games. To support learning with ARGs, there is a need to provide…

Pedro Santos Bartolomé; Tom Van Gerven – European Journal of Engineering Education, 2025
The authors develop an educational simulation game for basic vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) to use in chemical engineering education, basing the design on educational guidelines from the active learning literature. The game is tested in three cohorts totalling 84 students, showing significant increase in a knowledge test of VLE, and positive…

Sandra Elsom; Colleen Stieler-Hunt; Margaret Marshman – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Proponents of game-based learning see potential for the inclusion of Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) in higher education. Research has shown that an ARG can support the induction and socialisation of students but engagement in educational ARGs has been disappointing. We explored whether students could learn via an ARG embedded in curriculum: if…

Huang, Yueh-Min; Silitonga, Lusia M.; Murti, Astrid T.; Wu, Ting-Ting – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) are reliable predictors of success in school and the workplace. A typical technique for encouraging higher-order thinking is to use instructional design interventions that engage learners in simple cognitive activities. Business simulation game (BSG) is one of the types of interactive learning environments that…

Patterson, Kyle – ProQuest LLC, 2022
This dissertation is to explore the academic efficacy and relevance of two comparatively new technologies, video games and Virtual Reality (VR), how they relate to an older cultural phenomenon, theater, and how a discussion of both topics can result in a better understanding of how to supply students in the classroom with the chance to improve…

Graeske, Caroline; Sjöberg, Sofia Aspling; Thunberg, Stina – International Education Studies, 2022
Several studies have shown that Swedish students' reading comprehension and ability to understand fiction are decreasing year by year. Numerous alarming reports point to the unsustainable situation concerning young people's reading engagement, but the ideas of how it can be remedied are few. This study aims to investigate and evaluate a didactic…

Janice D. Gobert; Michael A. Sao Pedro; Haiying Li; Christine Lott – Grantee Submission, 2023
In this entry, we define Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) and present a description of their core components. We outline a history of the development of ITSs with a focus on key issues that have driven change and innovation in ITSs from their inception to present day. We also present a brief case study on a specific ITS, Inq-ITS (Inquiry…

Canto, Silvia; Jauregi-Ondarra, Kristi – Research-publishing.net, 2021
Game-based learning is gaining popularity in language education. For the present study, three games were developed with a central focus on intercultural interaction to be played internationally in dyads or small groups using Video-Communication (VC) tools or a Virtual World (VW). The interactions were carried out in Spanish as a Lingua Franca (LF)…

Ai-Chu Elisha Ding; Kuo-Ting Tim Huang; Jessica DuBois; Huali Fu – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2024
Secondary science students still struggle to master scientific concepts and apply content-based knowledge. The instructional design behind the incorporation of innovative technology and the use of game-based learning (GBL) could be a key to increasing student acquisition of science knowledge. Using a mixed methods design, this study examined the…

Magana, Alejandra J.; Hwang, Jisoo; Feng, Shi; Rebello, Sanjay; Zu, Tianlong; Kao, Dominic – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Previous work has identified that the benefits of learning with videogames and learning from simulations. However, recent meta-analytic work has also identified that little research directly compares learning with videogames and learning with simulations. Objectives: This study examines two learning technologies and their corresponding…
