Learner

The learner is in the root of the game-play. Therefore, information regarding the profile of the learner can be a useful insight (deFreitas and Oliver, 2006). Demographics including age, gender, and profession, academic background, learning level such as ICT and foreign language skills, culture, and interests are all important aspects that can tell whether a game is appropriate for a learner or a group of learners (deFreitas and Oliver, 2006).
