Open Universiteit
Datum: 2 weken geleden
stad: Heerlen,
Limburg
Contract type: Aannemer
Job Description
The Open University is a partner in the Horizon 2020 research project PREMIERE. Under the guidance of the academic staff, the candidate will contribute to the design and development of an online Serious Game as part of the PREMIERE project. The game will consist of playing out different story sequences relevant to the multi-actor proposal development process. The overarching aim of the game is to develop actors' transversal capacities by placing them in simulated situations where they can play out different paths through which they can experience the consequences of their choices.
These storylines will be structured around (a) real-world experiences and (b) findings related to the evaluation and selection practices of multi-actor proposals. Users can play out different storylines from different perspectives, e.g. as project coordinator, junior project partner or WP leader. These trajectories are then updated based on experiences gained during beta testing of the game.
