Using problem based learning to support transdisciplinarity in an HCI education

In this paper we advocate the development of transdisci-plinary educational programs with a strong focus on HCI, which use problem based learning (PBL) as a teaching method-ology. We describe a novel education called Medialogy, developed at Aalborg University Copenhagen in Denmark, outlining through different case studies how PBL supports transdisci-plinarity

On Problem Based Learning and Application to Computer Games Design Teaching

Problem-based learning is a pedagogical approach which started in early 1970s. It is well developed and established until now. Aalborg University in Denmark is one of pioneering world universities in PBL and has accumulated a huge experience in PBL for many different study lines. One of them is Medialogy education, which was established in 2002. This paper presents transfer of experiences from Medialogy education in Denmark to Game development education in Serbia - a new (2 years old) study line successfully developed in the country where game development companies hardly exist, but a need for newly educated programmers is evident
