作者：
Highlights：
• Engagement in the game has a positive effect on learning.
• Immersion in the game does not have a significant effect on learning.
• Challenge affected learning both directly and via the increased engagement.
• Skill did not affect learning directly but only via the increased engagement.
• Perceived challenge was an especially strong predictor of learning outcomes.
