Abstract

Game-based learning in general and serious games in particular have a promising potential in higher education. In this article we going to show the capability of serious games with regard to current challenges in higher education. The focus of this article is the presentation of the AdLer authoring tool, which offers lecturers the possibility to design and generate virtual 3D learning environments in which students can interact with learning content according to the principles of game-based learning.
