Developing a Web-based and Competition-based Quiz Game Environment to Improve Student Motivation

Game-Based Learning (DGBL) has become an attractive pedagogy in recent years because it can effectively improve the intrinsic motivation of learning. Besides, the development of web-based e-learning systems can help students to carry mastery learning out. In this study, the authors develop a Web-based and Competition-based Multi-player Quiz Game Environment (WCMQGE) by incorporating DGBL into the web-based e-learning system. During the process of the game, the WCMQGE system can help players (students) review what they learned from school and use their knowledge to compete with their peers.
