However, most studies focus on game design and its effectiveness while little has been known about the factors that can affect users to accept or to reject EG for their learning. User acceptance research try to understand the determinants of information systems (IS) adoption among users by investigating both systems factors and users factors.

In this paper we would like to reveal the study that has been done to determine users' perception and acceptance on the mixed reality prototype, named Mixed Reality Regenerative Concept (MRRC). The aim of MRRC is to increase users understanding on regenerative concept and tissue engineering.

Studies have found that EG can enhanced teaching and learning process. However, its acceptance rate is rather slow because of some reasons. Understanding students' acceptance factors can help designers design specific applications for intended users.

This is due to believes that educational games (EG) can offer many learning benefits such as motivation, engagement and fun. Learning Programming requires many skills such as logical thinking and problem solving as well as understanding of abstract concepts. As a result, many students found that Programming is a challenging subject which resulted in low motivation to study the subject. Thus, it is worth to study how educational games help to enhance our students learning attitude towards Programming. This paper will discuss on our pilot study of students' perceptions towards using educational games as their learning medium. Findings indicated that the attitude of most students are positive and they are also more motivated to learn Programming by using games compared to conventional method. Hopefully, this research provides some insights to understand our students' perceptions regarding educational games usage in their learning.

Most research have explored on how ECG helps student learn, but little are known on factors contribute to students' perceptions and acceptance of ECG. It is important to understand how students perceive ECG since they are the main ECG's stakeholders. This study investigates factors that affect (or do not affect) students to use ECG using seven constructs modified from UTAUT and past researches. Data analysis was done using structural equation modelling (SEM) with both measurement and structural models. Results show that performance expectancy, attitude and enjoyment factors were positively significant towards behavioural intention to use ECG while effort expectancy, selfefficacy and anxiety were found otherwise. The findings are useful for ECG developers to understand their target users' preferences and also for university administration for any integration of technology in the future.

Programming is considered a challenging subject by students and teachers, consequently students feel less motivated to learn it. It is important to know how educational games can help to enhance our student's motivation and learning perceptions towards Programming. This paper discusses the authors' pilot study of undergraduate students' perceptions towards using educational games as their learning medium using five constructs: motivation, attitudes, cognitive development, interface and expectation with 24 items. The findings indicated that most students had encouraging positive attitudes and were more motivated to learn Programming using games compared to conventional methods. The findings are hopefully will help to enrich knowledge in understanding students' perceptions regarding educational games for learning, particularly in the Malaysian context.
