Game-Based Learning

in collaboration with game experts
Game-Based Learning header

Game-based learning is a technique that leverages games to enhance student learning. Game-based learning makes education more interactive by allowing students to interact with each other in real time or within simulated learning scenarios. Their interactions foster critical thinking and focus on challenges related to problem-solving, relationship-building, or knowledge acquisition.

Game-Based Learning Community

Welcome to the community!

Through this community of educators, launched by ErasmusX, we spread curiosity, interest, action, and collaborations around Game-Based Learning (GBL) practices in education. So far, the GBL members produced great projects in the fields of law, management, psychology, and more. These exchanges between the members of GBL feed the community with case studies and unlock new possibilities for collaboration within and beyond the EUR, further revolutionizing the way students experience education.

Join our community sessions!

We hold a Game-Based Learning community session, hosted by Pablo Ortiz de Zaldumbide and Shen Liu, on a quarterly basis.
