Serious Games Day
Thursday 25th March 2010
Games are everywhere and their use outside of the entertainment industry is growing year on year. Serious games are making a big impact on how we educate, train and engage students or employees and provide a far more enjoyable and rewarding experience.
The new generation of learners expects a new level of interactivity, and games offer an innovative and exciting hands on experience which far surpass the dated methods of lectures and text books.
This is a great opportunity to experience the wide variety of sectors where serious games have been used to great effect, it’s a must for anyone who is considering using serious games and computer based training for their business or academic institute.
By attending the day you will get a fully rounded experience on the use of games and simulations across a whole range of sectors, focusing on real examples with real impact.
