Interdisciplinary team from University of Deusto develops serious game for job-oriented education, emphasizing entrepreneurship and problem-solving skills.

This paper presents the research work carried out by an interdisciplinary group of technologists, educators, and entertainment experts from the University of Deusto to develop a serious game to practice generic skills in job-oriented education. This innovative serious game focuses on entrepreneurship skills and problem solving competences. Technology is a facilitator for a new teaching methodology, but it also imposes certain restrictions to be considered by the entire project team.
