“…As a result, on the basis of the experiment, it was found that the cognitive skills of players increased under the influence of the game, which is a practical element of learning. A similar study was conducted in Portugal (Cruz et al, 2017). The mobile game was developed for the study of the history of Portugal and its user-friendly interface allows it to be used not only by students but also by schoolchildren.…”

“…Games can transform the learning process into a more engaging and satisfying experience whilst offering the opportunity for the learners to be exposed to experiences that would be adventurous, unsafe or to some extent impossible to be experienced in the physical world (Carvalho, 2017). Digital games make it possible for students to experience events multiple times and progress at their own convenience, and losing a game is a chance for learning and other attempts, with no worries (Cruz, Carvalho, & Araújo, 2017). Titus (2007) posits the vital part that creativity should be taken in marketing curricula.…”

Both employers and higher education institutes acknowledge creativity as a critical skill that all marketing graduates need to be equipped with when entering the job market. Creativity needs to exist within the marketing curriculum and be regarded as an integral part of the academic programmes offered at business schools. Whilst scholarly attempts have been made to find ways of incorporating creativity within the formal training at universities, many scholars acknowledge that creativity in marketing education has received little attention from researchers. This chapter highlights the importance of creative thinking for marketing and reviews the literature to provide a synthesis of the leading models for learning and teaching creativity in marketing modules.

“…The history of Czechoslovakia was the subject of one of the few serious games in this discipline [49,50] that generated a positive acceptance in both students and teachers. 1910 is a serious game created for mobile devices to motivate and engage 6th grade students in learning Portuguese history [14] However, there is still no user study to assess the impact of this game on learning or entertainment. These studies showed that serious games are a convenient place with efficient outcomes that could be used in a variety of domains.…”

Serious games are becoming an alternative educational method in a variety of fields because of their potential to improve the quality of learning experiences and to facilitate knowledge acquisition and content understanding. Moreover, entertainment-driven learners are more easily motivated to benefit from the learning process through meaningful activities defined in a game context. Interfacing educational computer games with multisensorial interfaces allows for a seamless integration between virtual and physical environments. Multisensorial cues can improve memory and attention and increase the cognitive and sensory-motor performance. Despite of the increasing knowledge in sensory processes, multisensory experiences and interactions in computer based instruction remain insufficiently explored and understood. In this paper, we present a multisensory educational gameFragrance Channel -and we investigate how enabling olfaction can contribute to users' learning performance, engagement and quality of experience. We compare results obtained after experiencing Fragrance Channel in the presence and absence of olfactory feedback on both a mobile and a PC. A knowledge test administered before and immediately after showed that our proposed educational game led to an improvement of performance in all the explored conditions. Subjective measurements carried out after the olfactory experience showed that students enjoyed the scenario and appreciated it as being relevant.
