It is the goal of this WP to study, design and develop a creative serious games environment to foster engagement with the presented contents and situations as well as the possibility of addressing the given scenarios (this is a creative way to provide interactive case-based learning) in different ways to foster reflection about the appropriateness of chosen solutions and behaviours. The WP will offer this possibility both for individual learning as well as group learning, moderated by an expert or tutor.

It is also the goal of this WP to maximize individual organisation of learning objectives, self consciousness of users and to foster cooperation with a virtual or real tutor on a personal level as well as within a group of learners. The tutorial services will be integrated as much as possible within the games to make user groups able to tutor one another. Gaming functionalities will be provided both for single use and for joint activities. The provision of immediate feedback will always be one of the main priorities and focuses. Through these activities this WP will analyze the contribution of Serious Games to reflective learning and their potential to enable users to experience new situations in the light of past experiences, making these to new “best practices” and thus re-routinize “better” behaviours.

The concrete objectives are:

• Objective 1: Fostering Users Motivation to learn and reflect through Serious Games
• Objective 2: Maximizing the Zone of Proximal Development
• Objective 3: Fostering Shared Knowledge and Shared Reflection through Serious Games
• Objective 4: Consolidation and Validation of Serious Games based Learning Experience
