Title: Week 3: Games-based learning
Course: AMORES initial learning materials for teachers on interactive ICT tools in teaching national and European literature

In this week we wanted to give Denmark and the UK a chance to discuss their Top Trumps idea, but so that everyone else would be able to get involved, we wanted to address the idea of games-based learning in general. This is a relevant topic for many of us, so it should be a useful thing to discuss. Furthermore, the AMORES methodology takes an unusual approach, in that it is looking at creating artefacts. Students designing games has a far greater potential for learning than just playing them, so this is also a chance for us to discuss our ideas about how we could use games design in our teaching.
