"Cultural and social progression is leading towards a learning and gamified
society. New forms of communication and social interaction form the ways in
which people operate and that affect learning needs, requirements and
expectations.

The field of the professorship studies in particular how learning happens
through games and in the processes of playing games. In addition, pedagogic
models on how to use games to support learning processes are also being
developed. Game based learning can be promoted with different kinds of
tools, such as ready-made games, or by personally creating learning
situations that may include traditional games and play or that otherwise
use gamified operating logic."
