Older learners and adults should find the game interesting and challenging.<br \/>\nThe game definitely has educational value, because of the design of feedback to learner responses and that feedback including examples of how a word is used. Vocabulary is actually a grammar and vocabulary learning tool combined, because its feedback demonstrates the type of word as well as the meaning of the word.<br \/>\nThe inbuilt adaptive content makes Vocabulary replayable.<br \/>\nI\u2019m not sure on market potential but the cost would need to be low. If distributed as an app, maybe $6-10 per consumer.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From blogs.ubc.ca Week 7: Game-based Learning &nbsp; &nbsp; Introduction to Game-based Learning &nbsp; jiorns says: October 26, 2013 at 11:40 pm &nbsp; I refuse to believe that the size of the consumer market using Farmville (mentioned in one of the Infographs) is an indicator of opportunity for the educational gaming market.
