Theme: How serious games can be engaging and motivate learning

We have invited:

Thomas Bjørner, Associate Professor, Head of Media Innovation and Game Research, Department of Architecture, Design and Media Technology, Aalborg University Copenhagen, to share his experiences of game-based learning in higher education and initiate the discussion around the experiences of engaged university students: How Serious Games can be engaging and motivate learning.

The Medialogy bachelor and master programs at Aalborg University, within the faculty of IT & Design, incorporate Serious Games as a key pedagogical tool. The results derived from this teaching and learning approach underscore that Serious Games foster student engagement and sustaining motivation to learn.

Furthermore, students experience heightened levels of engagement in their studies, particularly when utilising applied games addressing societal challenges within the educational framework.
