Stansbury, M. (2009) Can gaming change education? eSchool News, December 9
An interesting article on educational games with excellent links to the original research reports. Also a good analysis of the barriers to educational gaming. Perhaps the most important point made in the article is that ‘researchers are still in the early stages of trying to determine what works and what doesn’t when it comes to educational gaming design’.
