Description

The outline includes a deep dive into gamification in education and game-based learning (GBL), exploring how these methodologies can be seamlessly integrated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) and essential ICT tools for educational games. Participants will gain practical expertise in designing educational games and implementing gamification techniques to the lesson units, leading to student engagement with gamification strategies. By mastering AI-driven approaches, you will learn to reduce your teacher workload with AI tools through intelligent content creation and adaptive learning design, thus fostering a more personalised and effective learning experience for every student.
