This paper reports on the investigation of the possibilities of enhancing the formal e-learning process by harnessing the potential of informal game-based learning on social networks. The goal of the research is to improve the outcomes of the formal learning process through the design and implementation of an educational game on a social network and its integration with a learning management system (LMS) of an educational institution. As a proof of concept, a Facebook educational game that enables students to learn and test their knowledge was developed. Furthermore, the game was integrated with the Moodle LMS and the evaluation was performed within the e-learning system at the Faculty of Organizational Sciences, University of Belgrade. The results show that the application of social network edutainment in an e-learning ecosystem has a positive impact on both the students' results and their satisfaction with the learning process as a whole.

“…Therefore, the potential for the integration of games and learning becomes ever more significant. Many experimental studies state that computer games, and especially some features, can provide new ways of learning [4,5,6]. In fact, they have shown that educational games (or serious games) are capable of helping players to learn.…”

This study investigated players' motivation during serious game play. It is based on a theoretical model of motivation. Statistical analysis showed a significant increase of motivation during the game. This study tried to dissect predictors of Players' Motivational States. Multiple linear regression showed statistical significance of specific electrophysiological data. The theta wave in the frontal regions and motivation were positively correlated. High-beta wave in the left-center region was also a significant predictor for high level of motivation. Skin conductance was also a significant predictor for motivation. However, we could not find a significant correlation between players' motivation and their heart rate responses.

“…Prensky (2001) said that a game is the learning method the brain likes the most. A game has been known to play an important role in human activities, and is the most natural way for humans to build knowledge and skills (Cai et al, 2006). A game can contribute to the educational realm since it can intrigue learners' motivation, promote their active participation (Hämäläinen, 2008;Mann et al, 2002), and help to enhance learners' self-directed learning and problem-solving abilities (Amory, Naicker, Vincent, & Adams, 1999).…”

This research attempted to create the historical context of Southern Taiwan in the late nineteenth century based on the martial art novel "Xiao-Mao" (Pussy) by designing a role-play digital game "Taiwan Epic Game" about the war time; in which, Taiwanese history, geography, and culture are presented in an innovative way with virtual scenarios. Questionnaire surveys were conducted to investigate the effects of the digital game. The simulationist immersion premises were chosen to be the primary concern, with which the designers should pursue the supreme creation of situation, character, setting, and system. The results showed that the game can effectively enhance players' cognitive growth, as well as cultural awareness in terms of the sense of existence of the environment, local culture, folk arts, faith and festivals, and architectural characteristics. It can be concluded that the three-dimensional simulated learning environment created in the digital game can successfully merge "reality" and "virtuality."
