Description

  • Throughout the program, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how games and gamification can engage and motivate learners of all ages. The course focuses on making complex concepts easy to grasp, emphasising practical application over theory. Participants will discover the principles of designing educational games and gamified learning experiences that can be integrated into their teaching practices. This hands-on approach enables educators to create interactive, enjoyable, and effective lessons that captivate students' interest.
 
  • Gamification and game-based learning both promotes engagement and sustains motivation in learning. In our 5-day Teacher Training Course, we will put emphasis on the differences and similarities between game based learning and gamification in a classroom setting. Moreover, the course addresses common challenges and provides solutions for implementing game-based learning and gamification in a variety of educational contexts. By the end of the program, participants will have acquired the tools and knowledge needed to incorporate game elements into their teaching methods, making learning a more interactive and enjoyable process.
