| Abstract | With the advent of new technologies, a new generation of learners named "digital natives" has emerged, consequently the learning styles are continuously and/or improving in order to adapt to the evolving digital environment. Since the 1970's, digital games have expanded to swap "classic" games, and the general public is increasingly becoming addicted. Several authors believe that games because of their characteristics can be used as an effective educational tool. Through integrating a games-based pedagogical activity into a digital environment, it becomes possible to simplify the learning of challenging and more difficult concepts in a joyful activity. Researchers agree that it is not an easy task to learn mathematics. Would it then be less difficult through a games-based approach? Our work focuses on the creation and the implementation processes of an educational game to support learning of elementary mathematics at the primary level. It aims at creating a serious game prototype, following an appropriate instructional design model with well-defined pedagogical objectives, and conducting a systematic evaluation of the prototype both technically and pedagogically. Prior to the creation of the game, we conducted a survey involving 22 Moroccan teachers in primary and secondary schools, having a long teaching experience ranging from 22 to 38 years. 38% of those teachers declare that most students are lacking basic computational and autonomy skills. We then designed, developed and implemented a beta-prototype, that we tested in an under-study class of 32 students, then we compared levels of motivation, autonomy, concentration, interaction, and performance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
