The aim of this book is to present and discuss new advances in serious games to show how they could enhance the effectiveness and outreach of education, advertising, social awareness, health, policies, etc. We present their use in structured learning activities, not only with a focus on game-based learning, but also on the use of game elements and game design techniques to gamify the learning process. The published contributions really demonstrate the wide scope of application of game-based approaches in terms of purpose, target groups, technologies and domains and one aspect they have in common is that they provide evidence of how effective serious games, game-based learning and gamification can be.

This volume constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Serious Games, Interaction, and Simulation, held in Novedrate, Italy, in September 2015. The 16 revised full papers together with 2 keynote papers were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book. They focus on the design, development, use, and application of games for purposes other than entertainment. As such they cover areas like cognition, psychology, technology-enhanced education, evaluation and assessment, multimedia and information technology, and feature new scientific approaches and results from experiments and real-life applications.
