Recently, I have reviewed a new book published on the 31st March 2011 and titled ‘Digital Games and Learning’. Digital Games and Learning was edited by Sara de Freitas (Serious Games Institute, UK) and Paul Maharg (Northumbria University, UK) and presents an interesting selection of papers in the area of games simulations.
The book is divided into three distinctive sections including: theoria (theoretical positions); cultura (cultural perspectives); praxis (theory into practice) aiming in solving significant issues and challenges. The main research question of the contributors is to explore our understanding of the paradigm shift from conventional learning environments to learning in games and simulations.
