Serious Gaming: A new way to introduce Product Lifecycle Management

Our research work deals with the development of new learning environments, and we are particularly interested in Games-based Learning. We have developed our own learning environment where we apply the metaphor of exploring a virtual 3D world, where each student embarks on a quest in order to collect knowledge related to a learning activity. In this article, we explain how this work has been applied to the industrial domain in order to “conduct the change”.
