Om te zien wat confrontational pervasive business games zijn en hoe het werkt in de praktijk.

Wat leer je hier?

Immersive education. Confrontation. Internationalisation and Cross-Culture. All these aspects come together in the immersive business simulations run by various business studies of Rotterdam University of Applied Science. Through gamification, we create pervasive situations where we confront and challenge students to explore their professional and ethical boundaries. Situations not possible in regular classes, or in a traditional school setting. In this workshop, we would like to share these situations with you. We’ll focus on key gamification elements and how we connect them in an online blended environment that challenges students in rich learning settings. We’ll look at what kind of learning aims are important in such blended, pervasive games and how through the experience, students acquire both hard and soft skills in the pursuit of achieving these aims. Gamification is one of the critical factors that blends the classroom with the professional context students of business studies will find themselves in, and this workshop strives to show how this relationship successfully works.
