Benefits of game-based learning
A game engages the participants into learning by increasing motivation. It works as an extrinsic motivator, which can spark an interest in the subject matter. Positive learning experiences strengthen the learner’s self-efficacy and faith in his or her own abilities.
A game’s best quality in terms of the learning process is that it activates the learners. You can’t succeed in a game if you don’t do anything; you only win (learn) by actively participating in the game.
A game directs learning: a game’s objective, story and rules conduct the players’ actions. Within this framework, they have the freedom to decide where the game takes them. At the same time, they’re taking responsibility for their own learning.
A game embraces creativity. Different kinds of tasks challenge to show your know-how. Tasks can require searching new information, creative problem-solving, or using your imagination.

When you see the progress of different students in the game as an instructor, it is also easy to step in in situations where the student does not progress in the game for some reason. Even if you are teaching remotely, the possibility to comment and communicate through the game creates an atmosphere where you feel like you are playing together
