A specific application of such computer use, is that of multimedia games, where the aim is to combine pedagogy and entertainment. This study reports on a casestudy whereby an educational multimedia game has been developed for use by elementary school children. The stages of the applications design, implementation and evaluation are presented. Strengths of the game are identified and discussed, and its weaknesses are identified, allowing for suggestions for future redesigns. The results show that the use of games can engage children in the learning process for longer periods of time with the added benefit of the entertainment factor.</abstract> <index>Open Science Index 45, 2010</index> </article>
