This repository was developed in the framework of ProActive, a European project (Lifelong Learning Program, KA3) aiming to foster teachers' creativity through Game-Based Learning (GBL). The project created learning contexts in which teachers of Comenius, Erasmus and Leonardo programmes applied creativity in designing their own GBL scenarios by using digital tools.

The repository contains 60 GBL scenarios covering wide variety of subject areas for schools, university education and adult/vocational training. They were developed by 80 teachers and trainers in 23 pilot sites in Italy, Romania, Spain and UK. During 2011 many of these GBL scenarios were tested in teaching settings with pupils/students/trainees in the participating countries.

 

Information and results from the ProActive project are available at www.proactive-project.eu.

 

How to use the repository?

This repository enables to access the learning games and GBL scenarios created by teachers. The scenarios are pdf files that describe the educational activities to conduct around the learning games. For developing their games, teachers and trainers mainly used the two ProActive game editors: <e-Adventure> and EUTOPIA . Each game is a file (.stb file for EUTOPIA and .jar for <e-Adventure>) that are downloadable and editable with the game editors.

 

You can look for a game by searching for keywords (educational subjects / levels, etc.), or you can sort by title, audience, editor and game language.
