Summary:Developing an application through which the user can learn and have fun at the same time is being challenging for developers. For young learners these applications, or learning games sound interesting and very attractive to use. Yet, the concept of interactivity is essential in those applications to increase the learning potential. Interactivity ensures a bi-directional communication channel between learner and the game system.
