Content
The workshop is seperated in two parts: The first workshopday gives insights, enables discussions and support the generation of ideas. The participants can work on their ideas for three weeks and bring their results to the second workshop. At the second workshopdays concrete concepts and implementations are discussed and further refined.
The training is structured as a “peer learning lab” based on a discovery and experimentation approach, to improve and share virtuous practices, reflecting critically and constructively on practices, tools and methodologies.
- Learning principles in games according to Paul Gee
- Introduction to serious game co-design
- Discussion of potential and possibilities of integrating serious games into teaching and training processes
- Transfer into the teaching and training
Pedagogical design
The trainer provides content and tasks – sometimes even before the appointment – and shares their professional experience with the group. The participants work in groups or individually on the tasks. After the workshop, the participants will be sent documentation of the workshop by the trainer by email/ or the materials will be uploaded on a platform. The workshop focuses on group work and individual learning processes – not the expert’s presentation.
