On your marks, get set...!!!! Whether in the leisure sector or in education - games are part of our everyday life. Game Based Learning is more than just a didactic way of learning. Moreover, a new paradigm of the educational concept becomes visible: the consistent adoption of the user's perspective with the aim of creating motivating and transfer-oriented learning situations. But how can this be implemented? How can the balance between experience and knowledge transfer be established? How can the different types of learning be addressed? And above all: How can games or game elements be integrated in didactically meaningful scenarios of academic and vocational education and training?
The Conference of Game Based Learning on 8 and 9 March 2018 will address these questions. The event is organised by scientists, creative and educational practitioners from the Academy of Vocational Education and Training (AfBB), the Dresden University of Technology (Media Centre) and the Dresden University of Applied Sciences (FHD).
The venue is the new education campus of the AfBB/FHD, Güntzstraße 1 in 01069 Dresden, Germany.
The programme of the conference addresses teachers from academic and vocational education and training in particular. Presentations by national and international experts from science, education and the creative industry will provide insights into Game Based Learning, multimodality, gamification and serious games in the educational context.
