Abstract

The paper analyzes how pervasive games can be used for an efficient transfer of knowledge at universities. Pervasive games provide an innovative game model that combines the real world with the virtual world. In this instance, the game concept is used in conjunction with mobile phones as a means of interaction and communication enabler to support learning. The paper presents the design of a pervasive learning game, which was compared with a conventional case study approach in an empirical study with 100 students in respect of learning efficiency and motivation to learn. The empirical results reveal that the pervasive game leads to higher energetic activation, more positive emotions, more positive attitudes towards learning content and more efficient knowledge transfer than the conventional case study approach.
