Guidelines for Game-Based Learning is a contribution to a fast developing field of high interest to many educators: Make learning fun!
This book is a result of joint research for the European project,"UniGame: Game-Based Learning for Universities and Life-long Learning". With the UniGame project, we tried to break completely from the tradition and start from a new concept: Motivation and fun dimensions were put in the middle and we started from the concepts of games and playing.
The primary target-group of these guidelines is practitioners i.e. all pedagogues, teachers and trainers that want to implement game-based learning in their classes. The book will help them to systematically find commercial games and introduce them into their classes, or to implement their own ideas in the form of an educational game. Activities included in the chapters offer support in this proactive behaviour.
