Serious Games and Interactive Storytelling

I supervise projects in the areas of Serious Games and Interactive Digital Narrative (IDN). Games have become an important cultural form, which has been shown also to hold great potential for other purposes than entertainment, such as learning and cultural engagement. Serious Games research is concerned with how such game experiences are designed, implemented and evaluated across a range of application domains, for example to achieve specific learning objectives.  IDN research is concerned with narrative in digital media that changes according to user input.  It is a multi-disciplinary field that includes humanities-based and computational perspectives.
