Abstract :
In this paper, we define the factors of game-based learning and quality and how they can be incorporated into e-Learning systems development. First, we identify the advantages of games-based learning in correlation to the basic learning theories, next we define the quality and socio-cultural factors as published in previous work and lastly we formulate the essential factors combining the two aforementioned principles.
