Serious Games for Skill Development focuses on integrating game-based learning methodologies to foster essential skills in various professional contexts. Participants will engage in project-based activities that emphasize interactive learning, enabling them to apply theoretical concepts in practical scenarios. The course is structured to enhance critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving abilities through the design and implementation of serious games.
Throughout the program, learners will explore the mechanics of game design, the psychology of learning, and the application of gamification strategies in educational settings. By working on real-world projects, participants will not only deepen their understanding of serious games but also gain valuable experience that can be showcased in their professional portfolios. The course culminates in a final project where learners will create a serious game tailored to a specific skill development need, with opportunities to publish their findings in Cademix Magazine.
