Learning Objectives
​

It should be fairly easy for both the students and the teacher to understand the game and its rules. It is important to double-check that the game helps the students achieve the learning goals and it should not be used merely as an add-on or a fun factor. Feedback that supports students during game play in a form that is easily understood and at the appropriate time makes the gaming experience more enjoyable and helps to achieve the learning objectives (Stewart, 2015).
A user interface that is appealing and filled with high quality graphics can enhance engagement. Moreover, allowing learners to start again exactly where they last logged off enables them to use their time more efficiently, and it ultimately increases their learning opportunities (Lee & Cherner, 2015).
