Learning with Location-Based Gaming

Abstract

<p>Along with popular location-based game Pokémon GO and advancements with mobile technology, location-based gaming has drawn interest in education. Schools may well pose a feasible context for the further mainstream use of location-based games aimed for educational purposes. We present conceptual work with location-based gaming in education and mobile learning literature together with in-use examples of location-based games to highlight the ongoing tendency in schools to adopt these games for pedagogic activities. Implications are provided for further research, practice and game design.</p>
