NAVIGAME Serious game for learning: information literacy in action!
The second NAVIGATE Training Event hosted by the University of Parma via Zoom was held successfully! With our colleagues, partners and friends, we discussed an important topic related to the Information Literacy. We played both games developed by the Navigate team. With them we tried to improve the competencies of tutors and their potential for using Navigate’s games in their courses. We collected all of their recommendations, notes, suggestions and, last but not least, their great ideas for our future work.
Workshop with instructors: participants discussed IL games and share opinions and some good ideas
Game # 1 – testing in progress
Game # 2 – testing in progress
Special thanks to all participants in the Navigate hackathon!
NAVIGAME Remote Hackathon with Students
Our third NAVIGATE Training Event organized by University of Parma finished successfully. Students from Italy, Sweden and Bulgaria had the opportunity to meet, play and discuss the two Navigate Games. Via Zoom they tested in three groups the games and shared with each other their different points of view. They evaluated our work and provided useful feedback for further development and improvement of the two games.
Thanks to all students from Parma, Gävle and Sofia for the great ideas!
