"Video Games to Enhance Learning" ScienceDaily 2/16/11
Video games can offer the student an immediate chance to see if he has mastered material, and to try again if he doesn't. It can offer the teacher an immediate chance to see the level of remembering and understanding for an individual. Then there's the added benefit of kids having fun as they play. That's why one of the researchers quoted here uses the term "stealth assessment." It's worked for me with Quizlet.
This kind of assessment is just what is indicated in a Purdue University study that gave more weight to "retrieval practice" as a memory enhancer than "elaborative studying with concept mapping."
