We’d like to invite you to our February 2025 AIESEP Connect: Exploring the Future of TGfU in Games-Based Teaching and Coaching
This webinar will connect the key discussions from the 8th International Conference on Games-Based Teaching and Coaching (December 2024) with the future direction of the Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) Special Interest Group (SIG).

(2) What outcomes should a game-based approach foster? (3) How can the game-based approach enhance coaching practice.
