Abstract
Growing up in a world shaped by rapid technological development and innovations, the students of the 21st century need a new set of skills, such as critical thinking, problem solving and information literacy. New pedagogical approaches are necessary to develop these abilities in today’s technology-enabled knowledge society. Based on the fact that playful learning was a successful concept for the intellectual development of humans all along and that the passion for gaming is a characteristic of the digital natives, we present an approach to game-enhanced information literacy instruction.
