The course introduces current scientific discussions about digital game-based learning. The course considers fundamental elements of game design, dimensions of engagement, and multiple views of learning that are relevant to understand the theoretical foundation of game-based learning. In addition, different pedagogical uses of game-based learning are discussed. In small groups, the students will design a game-based learning concept related to a topical project.
