Abstract

We propose that the flow phenomenon experienced by learners in computer gaming can enhance exploratory learning behavior and learning achievement. We also propose that a high level of balance in user's skills and perceived challenge in the game is important for the learning process and outcome. These hypotheses will be tested in the context of computer games that incorporate educational content. Copyright © 2011 GSTF & CGAT.
