However, comparatively little research has been do [...]Keywords : Digital game-based learning, Serious game

We then use the tetralemma, a structure from traditional Indian logics, to resolve the paradox of serious games into this larger paradox of observation. Consequently, serious games may [...]From Videogame to Serious Game: the concept of Serious diverting and Serious Modding (Broacasting our studies)
