Players learn through performance or learning by doing", Michela Moretti emphasizes in her textbook "Game-based learning - Discover the pleasure of learning".

Furthermore, depending on the purpose of the game, the available roles can be tailored to the particular need of the player, thus providing the important attribute of individualisation ..."

The textbook provides teachers with informations how to implement and create game-based learning in their classes (age 10-15 years).
