Game-Based Learning

“If games are experiential, active, problem-based and collaborative then they have the potential to be effective environments for learning.” (Whitton 2007, p 1066)*

In this session we’ll debate whether games have a place as part of the teaching and learning activities offered in higher education and the role they might play. Participants will be introduced to some of the design principles that underpin effective games for learning and case studies of how they are already being used. (The session will focus mainly on the use of digital games but colleagues are also invited to draw on their experiences and knowledge of non digital games.)
