Abstract: Serious games are ideal for studying the relationship between learning and flow. EdGE and other researchers are examining game log data to identify patterns of play that can predict conceptual understanding, inquiry skills, and non-cognitive states (Asbell-Clarke et al., 2013; Baker et al., 2013; Halverson et al., 2013; Ventura & Shute, 2013; DiCerbo, 2014).
