Gamification and serious game approaches for adult literacy tablet software ?
Three iPad apps were designed to teach literacy concepts to adults with low literacy skills. The iPad apps were formally tested with participating clients at an adult skills centre. Participants recommended teaching concepts using both traditional lessons and iPad apps in the future. Short, medium and long term rewards were effective at motivating participant behavior. Time limits and gradually increasing challenge difficulty appeared to induce a state of flow in participants.
