Welcome to Press Start Hong Kong's Gamification 2.0 series, a 7-part free Lunch & Learn webinar program exploring gamification and its origins, foundations and applications!

This is Gamification 2.0.3: Learning and Teaching through Play.

It’s time to get into the real meat of Gamification 2.0!

After our first two introductory webinars in Press Start Hong Kong’s Gamification 2.0 series, we will be exploring the application of gamification in education and how we can learn and teach through play.

It’s not about bringing games into the classroom and playing during class time, but rather, about learning from game design principles to augment our curriculum design and classroom experience, and to make learning more fun, hands-on and engaging.

This seminar will be based around real-life examples, looking at one of Press Start Academy’s innovative game-based programs and a game design case study from Press Start Hong Kong’s portfolio. We will also be sharing some lessons learned from this unique and challenging time, based on our experience expanding into distance learning over the past few months.

We look forward to welcoming you on our journey to change education through play and games.
