Introduction
Contemporary education is increasingly being involved with technological resources in order to meet the needs of emerging generations, changing the way people teach and learn. In this context, the area of Digital Educational Games and Game-Based Learning is an research field that has evolved in recent years, with initiatives in different domains and in diverse immersive platforms/devices and three-dimensional environments that support the creation of applications to improve teaching and learning processes.
This handbook aims to meet the challenge of providing teachers, researchers and institutions with discussions and examples on how to adopt these new methods and applications supported with information technology tools and resources successfully, focusing on the area of Digital Educational Games and Game-based learning in 3D or immersive environments. The aim is to reach into research trends that are appearing, in order to show innovations that can be used and the results that can be found, disseminating and valorizing well succeed approaches and incentivizing the scientific community into filling the research gaps.
The topics covered in this book seek to cover the introduction of new pedagogical practices in all levels and modalities of education, instigating readers to assimilate proposals that have been implemented and to replicate this knowledge in their institutions and researchers worldwide.
Objective
This comprehensive and timely publication aims to be an essential reference source, disseminating knowledge on the available literature in the field of Immersive and Digital Educational Games, with the objective of showing applications in this area integrated with educational, cognitive and affective theories and computer resources that are being used to support contemporary instructional methods.
Target Audience
The target audience for this handbook is broad, ranging from teachers, pre-service teachers, students and university researchers of interdisciplinary areas to the academic world in general. This publication seeks to cover topics related to Immersive and Digital Educational Games and other approaches interconnected to this area that can be used together, thus seeking to attract readers to explore the researches presented, its benefits, disadvantages and forms of applying.
