More than virtual Managers
In a virtual environment like Second Life, Game4Manager will be launched, a “serious game” with a Portuguese touch that invites middle and senior managers of companies to overcome the challenges of an integrated management in quality, environment, work safety and hygiene/health and energy, in an e-learning context.
Game4Manager – Corporate Game for Managers in Quality, Environment, Safety and Energy intends to use the fun part and the challenge, to promote learning. The game will be provided through Internet in November 2010 in six languages (Portuguese, English, French, Hungarian, Greek and Swedish) and it will be available to all companies, regardless the area of activity, since its relevance crosses all sectors.
The project aims to develop an e-learning course in the quality, environment, safety and hygiene/health and energy areas by simulating a business environment that it will enable the learner to acquire the necessary knowledge and best practices to perform his functions in any area of the organization.
Several research projects have already demonstrated the potential of the game-based learning, showing that the use of “serious games” can transform learning in a more engaged and dynamic process, improving performance in the professional activity and enhancing the results, concluding that when professionals learn through games, their understanding and retention are higher.

During the project’s dissemination process, it will also be provided a common space for “players” to facilitate the transference of knowledge within the community of e-learning in each area, as well as to allow the use of the project’s results in order to deepen the research related to game-based learning.
