Abstract

Games are a classical field of application for concepts of artificial intelligence (AI). We outline a didactic concept for teaching AI to Business Information Systems students at the university level and a web-based game server that was implemented to support this concept. Our results show an improved engagement of students as well as a flexible technical basis for AI education and AI research which can be applied in various learning and research contexts.
