“ Games embody many attributes associated with how people learn: games are social and experiential, they require players to recall prior learning and develop new understanding, and being successful depends on problem-solving. “ (Diana G. Oblinger, 2006)
“ Another critical element of games is the community that develops around them. … Group members bring diverse expertise to the community, and individual members are valued for their contributions and helped to develop further as the group continually advances its collective knowledge and skills. (Diana G. Oblinger, 2006)
