Purposefully selected games blended with carefully constructed learning experiences can be used to improve student learning outcomes. They can improve student learning because they: open up opportunities that would be otherwise unavailable or too costly or too dangerous to make available to students (Berson cited in Mitchell and Savill-Smith 2004, p. 20) require students to exhibit behaviours such as self-monitoring, pattern recognition, problem recognition and problem solving at a deep level, principled decision-making, qualitative thinking and superior short-term and long-term memory (VanDeventer and White cited in Mitchell and Savill-Smith 2004, p. 20) engage students (Mitchell and Savill-Smith 2004, p. 17).

Remember to set learning context relate to curriculum goal.
