چکیده
Concept learning belongs to the fundamental challenges of educational technology. Contrary to the current trend of designing and implementing contents for various web–based virtual courses, concept learning requires cognitive tools rather than digital materials. We introduce a novel scheme to generate computer games from concept maps made by a teacher or a learner herself. Concept gaming exceeds the potential of previous software packages for concept mapping in a significant feature: it adds excitement and tension to the process of building a meaningful composition of concepts related to each other. In addition, concept gaming supports learning at various levels, from memorizing up to open problem solving.
