Multidisciplinary research which explores the cognitive and psychological aspects that underpin successful educational video games is therefore necessary to ensure proper curriculum design and positive learning outcomes.Developments in Current Game-Based Learning Design and Deployment highlights the latest research from professionals and researchers working in the fields of educational games development, e-learning, multimedia, educational psychology, and information technology. It promotes an in-depth understanding of the multiple factors and challenges inherent to the design and integration of game-based Learning environments.
