Abstract
Serious Games are applied to foster motivation in accomplishing real-world tasks. However, their efficacy can be considered as being dependent on personal preferences of the recipients. In this exploratory study, two multiple choice question-based apps have been evaluated as a learning tool in a university course of an environmental engineering study program: a commercial quiz app (QuizUp) and a professional learning app (Skive). At the beginning of the course each student (N = 15) chose one of these apps as a mandatory learning aid for factual knowledge over the complete course period. The study results, collected by learning diaries, a questionnaire and results of the final test, confirm the type dependence of learning experiences created by these tools. Further, it acknowledges mostly the maturity of the used question-based learning app, but reveals current limitations of both, the quiz app and the didactical context.
