A new and innovative way to improve the quality of teaching and increase student motivation is game-based learning (GBL). GBL borrows certain gaming principles and applies them to real-life settings to engage users (Trybus 2015), it is not just creating games for students to play, but designing learning activities that can gradually introduce new concepts, and guide learners towards an end goal. GBL provides an opportunity for teachers to incorporate active learning into their instruction, promote students’ interest and engagement, and provide immediate feedback on performance. A great amount of research suggests that GBL can increase student learning and social skills development, specifically to populations with social skills deficiencies such as children with autism (ASD) (Hsiao and Zhang, 2019).
