GAMIFICATION AND GAME-BASED LEARNING TECHNIQUES

Third-party on-site course

Games are an ideal learning environment, with their built-in permission to fail, encouragement of out-of-box thinking, and sense of control. Game-Based Learning (GBL) can be used to improve both learning and teaching.That is including games in your education plan. Using game-based learning in the classroom helps engaging students by directly involving them in the learning process.
