Serious Games are computer or video games in which education is the primary goal, rather than entertainment. Serious Games offer different benefits due to the integration of simulation aspects, game aspects and pedagogical elements at the same time. Among the different assets that Serious Games provide for learning, we will focus in this paper on their ability to leverage the synergy between emotional and learning appropriation processes. We will first outline the specific features of learning opportunities offered by Serious Games considering the involvement of emotions in this learning process. The following part of the paper will be dedicated to the description of the methods for the analysis of the emotional experience of SG users. Finally, we will explore a new promising research direction concerning the use of Affective Computing in Serious Games.}, number={SI3}, journal={International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET)}, author={Anolli, Luigi and Mantovani, Fabrizia and Confalonieri, Linda and Ascolese, Antonio and Peveri, L.}, year={2010}, month={Nov.}, pages={pp. 7–16} }
