Possible Applications of Digital Gamebooks in Education
The idea of gamebooks originally comes from the entertainment sector. The basic idea here is to let the readers themselves determine the further course of the story. By transferring this principle from classic books to digital environments, it can also be used in a teaching/learning context. The preparation of teaching/learning materials as gamebooks offers great potential in terms of feedback and individual, personalized learning paths. This proseminar gives an introduction to the topic of digital gamebooks. It follows a conference-like sequence, in which different topics are developed over the semester and presented in a block at the end. The focus is on learning the scientific work process and is accompanied by weekly work assignments. Thematically, the seminar focuses in particular on possible applications, potentials and challenges for different target groups, topics and teaching/learning scenarios.

Topics
All topics deal with possible applications, potentials and challenges in the use of digital gamebooks in teaching. Thereby 7 different areas are illuminated. The topics will be assigned multiple times. The working is done in individual work.
Subject area: Application possibilities, potentials and challenges
How could digital gamebooks be used for the respective target groups? Which perspectives need to be taken into account? For which topics or in which areas of application would digital gamebooks be suitable in the respective environment? Which already established forms of teaching are perhaps already similar to the gamebook principle or could be well supplemented or perhaps even replaced by it? This is only a selection of questions that arise here. For the different target groups at the same time, there are also different potentials and challenges. What is the target group to be addressed by the gamebook? What needs to be considered when creating gamebooks for this target group? What skills and knowledge do the users of the gamebooks have or need?
