Back to the DigiPlay Seminar Series

This seminar bring together research which explores what potential lies in the use of interactive gaming technology for enhancing and diversifying curriculum based teaching and other forms of learning. Presentations will be given by practitioners and researchers who have sought to incorporate and utilise game software in educational contexts and explored the educational potentials of routine gaming. In doing so, the seminar session aims to address what can be learnt from games and whether educators are successfully extracting what motivates, generates and maintains players’ interest in computer games?
