Talk: Remixing Play for a Gameful Learning Experience
This talk will touch on the potential of playful and gameful approaches for extending engagement to formal methods as an important means for promoting anytime anywhere and lifelong learning and, subsequently, for reshaping learning to better match the needs of the 21st century knowledge economies and open societies. To support this extension, it is important for educational institutions to evaluate and possibly re-design how formal spaces are being used in teaching and learning and how digital platforms can help facilitate delivery, application and assessment of learning in informal context. The talk will also describe existing initiatives, such as the GameChangers programme (http://gamify.org.uk) and the EU funded Beaconing project (http://beaconing.eu).
Hands-on workshop: Remixing Play into a Game-Plan
This 2-hour workshop will explore how playful inspirations can be exploited for informing the development of a game-plan. The approach can be adapted as a learning process and/or tool. Participants will develop playful solutions that will address serious challenges, themes and/or topics. This approach is based on a holistic model for developing solutions, where the process is driven by the needs rather than technology.
