Use of pure computer games in education

Survey of Computer and Video Games in Education : "The survey deals solely with "pure entertainment" computer and video games (henceforth referred to as "pure games"). These are games that are designed, produced and marketed solely for fun and entertainment, and not for any explicit teaching or learning purpose. In the US especially, these are also known as COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) games.

The aims of the survey are to:

• discover examples of "pure games" which are explicitly used for teaching or learning purposes.
• determine which types of "pure games" have the greatest potential for educational uses.
• identify emerging trends in the use of "pure games" for educational purposes.
