Short Description

The unprecedented growth of mobile devices has, in part, helped pave the way for research interests in how mobile games can be used as an effective way to support intellectual activities, social skills, and learning. The globalization of mobile devices and prolific popularity of games has also heightened concern for problematic behavior.
