What are Serious Games and Game Based Learning?

Serious gaming is the use of gaming technology for purposes other than primary entertainment. Digital game based learning is educational content delivered via a computer game. It goes further than e-learning packages, which simply put the textbook on the screen, to create a highly engaging, interactive virtual learning environment where the learner has complete agency to explore and react to the virtual world.

The fundamental characteristics which make computer games so entertaining also make this an ideal medium for teaching, learning and assessment. The training features of an excellent computer game are the same as the features of an excellent learning experience.
