It promotes an in-depth understanding of the multiple factors and challenges inherent to the design and integration of game-based Learning environments.

Patrick has a keen interest in the design and development of engaging educational multimedia-based applications for secondary and third level. He specializes in game-based learning, multimedia, educational psychology, and instructional design.
