LET'S PLAY A GAME: AN EXPERIMENT ON GAME DESIGN AND EDUCATION

Monday 23rd NOVEMBER

13:45 – 14:00

Interviewing Erik and Ola about their talk: Let's play a game

Ola and Erik believe in a bold concept: "that we should all have the chance to build a game". With this in mind, the "Toolbox for Creativity" was created. Each and every component of this game was designed to provide the right level of scaffolding in the students' journey of game design and development.

The Toolbox for Creativity was implemented to maximise the learning outcomes of the class Organizational Behaviour. As is usually the case in such stories, an enemy appeared in this narrative. This time, its name is COVID19.

Check how Erik and Ola adapt their idea to the reality of distance learning and what was the result of this experiment.

About Erik Agudelo

My name is Erik and I'm a firm believer that the way we educate people will change for the better as people from different industries, from all corners of the world and from different backgrounds contribute to this change. I was born in Venezuela and for the past 20 years or so I'm proud to call myself an Irish citizen. Currently I'm collaborating with the University of Economics Krakow and Trinity College Dublin to further my research. I'm the founder of Play Learn Develop and I'm also a vegetarian who enjoys good wine (preferable red). The toughest challenge I'm facing at the moment is learning Polish 🙂

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better and learning from you.
