 * Here is a quick review I put together. I wasn't 100% sure that we had finalized the research questions so I mostly used Ravinas and added one. **

A Game-Based Learning Approach to Improving Students' Learning Achievements in a Nutrition Course. //Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology - TOJET//, 10(2), 1-10. Retrieved from EBSCO//host//. This research article addresses two groups of third grade students that are being taught about nutrition. One group is a controlled group learning via computer based GBL the other is taught using traditional methods. Conclusions show that the students that learned via the GBL show that the learning achievements of the GBL group were much better than the students in the traditional setting. Our purpose is to research the advantages and disadvantages of GBL and the effects it has on the learner. Each learner can learn better from different methods, however GBL seems to have a major significance and increase in students learning. What are the advantages and disadvantages of GBL? How can GBL become more effective? What is the future of GBL? Are students more receptive to it?

 * Literature Gap **
 * While this article has some good facts looking through many others articles there appears to be absence of good facts and stats on the subject of GBL. **
