Engage Community
The Engage Portal is a central information resource for people interested in games for learning and using games for curricular contents. Using a combination of Web 2.0 technologies (forums, wikis, blogs, podcasts, webspaces) the portal provides:
- Documented methodologies for developing and implementing game-based learning for practitioners, developers, and other stakeholders of the learning community.
- A basis for a Europe-wide dialogue on the role of games and game-based approaches in Education and training and their acceptance by and effects on society, focusing on localisation and cultural issues as well as safety and rating agendas.
- For the dissemination for existing eLearning and Minerva project outcomes (e.g. UniGame, SIG-GLUE, etc.), as well as for ongoing projects related to the application of games for learning and the valorisation of these.
From this section, users can access the Engage Forum, the GBL Wiki, the Resource Repository, and the Conference listing. These can be selected from the left-hand menu.
