Networking Session NET02
Serious Games and Serious Game Jams: Free Resources and Building Your Network
Date Thursday, Dec 1 Time – RoomQueen
Changing the way games are perceived and used in learning and publishing is now a necessity. Users frequently play games, and they are also interested in creating them. To support this, the Jam Today network brings together different people who are involved in the process of designing and deploying game-based approaches to learning. They offer the necessary information, expert guidance, tools and support to involve different stakeholders.
Whether you are working in a company, school or university, join this networking session to meet and discuss serious games and serious game jams.

Head of Digital Learning & Collaboration Area, Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, Italy
I Graduated in Psychology in 2000. Actually I lead the Digital Learning and Collaboration area in Fondazione Politecnico di Milano. Before (2001) I have worked in Vocational Training projects and in 2004 I was involved for the 1st time in a research project focused on e-learning. Then I worked in Polimi-Metid approaching innovation of didactics and e-collaboration methodologies. In the last 3 years with my team we are focusing on applied-games, business games, transition university-work new skills, MOOCs, support to cooperation, Hospital and Home Education.
I always loved learning. Or rather, experiencing. I liked books but they needed to be experienced: a lot of effort... And then I discovered that there were many ways to teach and learn. And that this world does not stop, vibrant and lively. I was and am curious to discover these methods. I like to explore how far you can push. I never married only one Idea, perhaps for this reason I have more questions to ask than answers to give.
