Games represent a very useful and effective activity for personal growth and development processes. In particular, they constitute the first form of human learning.<\/p>

Serious games, which\u00a0exploit the playful aspect of the game to facilitate education objectives, take advantage of the amusement to teach\u00a0<\/strong>something.<\/p>

To achieve it, serious games reproduce plausible scenarios in which the protagonist user is involved in a simulation that has educational purposes. Let\u2019s see together how it is possible to\u00a0train through serious games\u00a0and what is the relationship between\u00a0serious games and\u00a0<\/strong>learning.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Serious games are\u00a0online games\u00a0that often use cartoon techniques and combine game and educational elements. Their purpose is to share an effective and pleasant training experience, which puts the users and their choices at the centre.<\/p>

The\u00a0player\u2019s role\u00a0<\/strong>within a serious game is that of an active player, capable of interacting with the surrounding environment thanks to interactivity, an essential characteristic of educational games. Edugame allows the users to learn from their experiences and to modify their course of action.<\/p>

There are different types of serious games, from the simplest ones that need only a sheet of paper and a pen, to the more complex ones that use technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality to reproduce situations in which the player can learn by experimenting. In this case, the player has the chance to learn through an\u00a0interactive virtual simulation, sometimes even very distant from reality.<\/p>

These are the reasons why serious games are often applied in training:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
