Call for LOM#9: Educational games in University Teaching

The theme for the next issue of the online journal LOM (Learning and Media) is educational games in universities.

The use of learning games in the classroom seems to motivate students to acquire new professional knowledge in a different way than the teaching methods most commonly practiced in higher education. But research into the use and benefits of games in higher education is limited.

This special issue will contain both theoretical and empirically-based articles on the use of learning games in higher education at universities and this issue is open to all types of games.
