“The inclusive potential of digital games in school”
Lecturer: Natalie Denk

Children and young people today are enthusiastic about digital games. With good reason, as they open up numerous spaces for experience, social contacts and learning. Thanks to the multifaceted nature of the medium, different assistive devices and approaches, many people with physical or mental disabilities also enjoy immersing themselves in digital game worlds and can play on an equal level with their fellow players, either against or with each other.

In a lecture, participants will get an introduction to the topic of gaming and inclusion in the school context. Questions will be answered such as: What characterises an accessible digital game? How can people with disabilities be actively involved in gaming projects at school? What frameworks and equipment are required in this context? What challenges do people with disabilities face in digital gaming worlds? In addition, ideas for teaching methods around the topic will be conveyed.

Following the lecture, special gaming devices, games or methods can be tried out in a hands-on phase.

"The RPG Maker as a teaching tool"
Lecturer: Simon Wimmer

The RPG Maker is an engine in which playable digital worlds can be created in a short time. The presentation shows the basic functions of the RPG Maker. There will be several examples of how such games can be used in the classroom. On the one hand as a story-telling tool, where interactive decisions cause different feedback. But also examples of how knowledge can be transferred on a more abstract level through game mechanics. Finally, there will be given some food for thought on how the RPG Maker could also be used by students and how a learning effect can be achieved in various areas through the independent creation of games.
After the presentation, which is intended to arouse interest, ideas and enthusiasm, there will be a hands-on phase in which ideas for manageable mini-projects will be collected in the form of a workshop, which will then be implemented, with providing assistance at any time if needed.

Welcome to the Department of Materials and Production

Department of Materials and Production (MP) is a wide-ranging research and educational environment located at Aalborg University, with a mission of meeting future demands for new materials and production systems by directing the entire value chain, from basic material understanding, materials' applications in mechanical constructions, to industrial production and management. We have strong, international and innovative research groups working with fundamental research as well as strategic and applicable research. Our research and education covers aspects within materials, mechanics, physics, production techniques, and industrial management and innovation.

Welcome to the research group of Unlimited Knowledge Application

We are interested in how individuals and groups might work towards a more unlimited application of knowledge and thus enhance their level of creativity in education, work and the rest of their life.

In our research we focus primarily on four basic principles of creative behavior and thinking:

Same focus at the same time - one focus at a time (parallel thinking)

Focusing on the task and nothing else (task focus)

No experience of judgement (no-experienced judgement)

Use of all knowledge available (horizontal thinking)

We have developed three concepts based on these four principles. The concepts attempts to enhance an unlimited application of knowledge. The concepts are, respectively, The Creative Platform (used for teaching and development process), 3D Didactic (exercises for direct affecting body, mind and attitude) as well as The Embodied Training Program for New Thinking (training of creative behavior and thinking in shortterm and longterm perspective). You can read more about the concepts in the menu on the right.

In our research we attempt to develop materials and tools according to the open source principles. The hope is to make it as easy as possible for any practitioner to start applying our concepts in practice. Therefore under each concept you will find a wide range of materials and tools that can be downloaded and used freely.

You can also find a list of publications under the "Research group" menu. It has not been possible to make all our publications open source. In the list you find information on publishers and journals.

Our research methodology takes point of departure in action and experimental research. We are therefore often involved in the planning, implementation, reflection and identification of learning in the projects we do research on. You can read more about our research method under the "Research Group" menu.

Enhancing creativity for individuals, groups and organizations is a new book that presents the four working principles of no-experienced judgement, task focus, parallel thinking and horizontal thinking as a route towards unlimited application of knowledge. It presents the concepts and practices of The Creative Platform, Embodied Training Program for New Thinking (creativity) and the 3D Didactic.
