Abstract  

Educators have concerns over the learning value of educational computer games, this is a key barrier to the widespread adoption of such technologies with education.
We describe our work at Caspian Learning in approaching this problem embedding pedagogy, content mapping and assessment into learning based games. This article explores the reactions of educators and students to learning based games in a formal classroom situation. Tangible examples are provided.
