The handout for the use of experimental planning games and serious games has been included in the new edition since 2002. It consists of a textbook and a DVD. The textbook contains the findings from BIBB studies and experiences from various BIBB model projects on didactics and the efficacy of gaming and serious games. It offers an introduction to learning game ideas, constructs and implementations. Examples illustrate the basics of experimental planning games and serious games, where they differ, what their didactic originality claims are in comparison with "rivalling" teaching and learning methods and how they can be integrated in training courses and lesson plans, as well as in organisational development measures of companies. The DVD contains a catalogue of available experimental planning games and serious games for the German-speaking region (Germany/Austria/Switzerland) and more than 100 experience reports from trainers and providers.
