摘要:Can Multi-user Games constitute tools for the development of learning communities? Although a large body of research, over the past three decades, has been dedicated to the potential of digital games as learning environments, there is little evidence on whether a learning community can be developed through multi-player gaming. With the implementation of high technologies, digital games have evolved from simple arcade-like games, to environments integrating Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality. One of the latest trends in gaming is the integration of on-line - multiplayer feature, where the player competes or collaborates with other real users over networks. Communities of gamers are increasing continuously. What would the learning implications of a Multi-user game be if the purpose of the game were the attainment of a learning objective?
