As part of the 2020 higher education package and the call for proposals "Innovative teaching and learning concepts: Innovation plus", the project "Gamification of Interdisciplinary Higher Education" by Dr Thomas Klenke, Dr Leena Karrasch and Malena Ripken was approved with €48,800. The aim of the project is to further develop the "Planning and Management of Coastal Zones and Sea Basins" module using the serious gaming approach. The aim is (1) to develop concepts for building and improving game-based teaching content, (2) to use and reflect on serious games continuously throughout the module, (3) to involve external international guest lecturers and practice partners and (4) to carry out problem-based and self-directed, research-based learning in order to develop skills for sustainable development in coastal areas and European seas.
