“…However, the primary objective of his study was to explore how the app design and content influence students learning pathways. Similarly, past studies like Bomhold et al, [13] , Falloon [40] , Dubé et al; [35] , Dias & Brito [33] etc., gave more emphasis on educational apps' contents, their design and various features, besides locating various user motivations.…”

Although educational apps have emerged as an easily available and accessible alternative to classroom learning, particularly at the time of pandemics like COVID-19, no research has attempted to identify learners intentions behind the usage of different educational apps. The current study developed a valid and reliable research instrument to measure the motivations behind using educational apps. Using the mixed method approach commonly used in uses and gratification (U&G) research, i.e., open-ended essays & national survey (N=552), this study identified seven gratifications behind learners intention to use educational apps: academic assistance, convenience, entertainment, social influence, novelty, engagement and activity. The result suggests that academic assistance, convenience and social influence were the significant predictors of the intention to use educational apps. The current research also identified the moderating effect of gender in selecting educational apps. One of the most significant contributions of the present study is that it extended the uses and gratification theory applications beyond the traditional media to explain the intention to use educational apps.

“…Transfer of learning includes policies that will help stakeholders adopt games into classrooms that are effective (i.e., skills transfer outside the game). Decades of research shows that most educational games do not work (e.g., Dubé and Keenan 2016;Randel et al 1992;Wouters et al 2013) because they copy traditional video games (Young et al 2012) instead of sound pedagogical approaches (Dubé et al 2019). Thus, policies are needed to help administrators facilitate evidence-based professional development and curricula, inform teacher and student game consumption, and facilitate the selection and purchase of effective games.…”

The shift to digital learning, spurred by the pandemic, will likely lead to the adoption of educational games into classrooms as a way to replace traditional learning activities. This will be a challenge because of a lack of training on the use of games for learning and the difficulty of finding good learning games. The 2019 SRCD Social Policy Report on digital games identifies policy areas that could address these challenges. Further, Ke's (Educ Technol Res Dev 64:219-244, 2016) systematic review of games research provides insights into how teachers can use games for learning and which types of educational games are effective. Leveraging the report and the review, policies for the digital shift are suggested that will help guide the adoption of games into classrooms.

“…These technological advances allow for direct manipulation and immersive experiences through tools including touchscreen devices, motion sensors, and virtual reality. In this research, I focus on the domain of mathematics and 2 mathematics learning for people using touchscreen devices (Dubé, Alam, Xu, Wen & Kacmaz, 2019;Xie, Peng, Qin, Huang, Tian & Zhou, 2018).…”
