Abstract

This review article examines a topic close to my heart. I believe that fun is a motivator of happiness, leading to greater interaction, motivation, reward for both student and staff. Although the context of Prensky’s (2002) article is a discussion relating to e-learning or computer based learning - the 21st century learning revolution - the notion of learning through gaming and fun is just as relevant to classroom-based activities through the enhancement of motivation.
