In recent years, digital games have gained great popularity in the society and assumed an important role in children’s and adolescents’ lives. These phenomena increasingly require educators to address the challenges and opportunities of game-based learning. This course is designed to help education students develop an understanding of the potential role of games and gaming for learning in the digital age. Students will explore the trends in various game designs, cultures and genres in the context of both educational and commercial games as well as examine the educational value of these games with particular focus on the pedagogical, curricular and individual needs of learners.
