Behaviorist perspective: structure the subject matters into a learning hierarchical order from the easiest to the hardest topics.

Cognitive perspective: connect new knowledge to previously learned knowledge. By drawing comparisons to similar circumstances, similar procedures may be applicable to the new circumstance.

Mandatory Time Spent: the time the students spend on the subject because of his/her academic obligation.

Voluntary Time Spent: the time the students spend on the subject because he/she wants to explore further into the topics of the subject without the instruction of a superior.

Assessment is a tool used to evaluate the effectiveness of a teaching method or the learning result of a student.

Emphasis shifts from summative to formative assessment.

Happens during the learning, often more than once, rather than at the end.

Students understand exactly what they are to learn, what is expected of them and are given feedback and advice on how to improve their work.

For Joe, the gap is much larger and it might requires him to spend more time than Jay and Newton. Joe might give up if no targeted help from the teacher is offered at this stage.

For Newton, the gap is very small and hence feels comfortable to cross.

Through this process, students are able to learn about themselves as learners and become aware of how they learn-become meta-cognitive

Students reflect on their work on a regular basis, usually through self and peer assessment and decide what the next learning will be.

One of the best features of a game is player profile.

Features on ProfilePlayer can observe and learn

from others on how to improve their own profile

Constant statistics data received from the game that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of time usage.

Engaging environment ensure high voluntary time spent on the learning game.

Guide the student to effective usage of time through the use of game mechanics
