Motivation-driven educational game design: applying best practices to music education

Type: conference paper

Authors: Guillaume Denis, Pierre Jouvelot

Abstract
Building upon research on motivation theory, we provide insights on how video games can be framed as expert tools that naturally reconcile learning and fun, a worthy goal since students are forced to where players volunteer, namely learning. Our main contribution is to suggest best practices rooted in psychology and motivation theory that we believe should be used when designing educational games.
