Research activities

• I deal with the topics of e-learning, educational games, media effects and teaching models. Besides the educational potential of digital games I´m fascinated by their visual culture, structure, functioning and shared traits with previous media.

Internship and stays for the purpose of study or work

• 2022/02/01 – 2022/05/31: IT University of Copenhagen, Copenhafgen, Freemover, DNK
  • Zahraniční pracovní pobyt na dánské IT University of Copenhagen. Budu zde pracovat na disertaci, diskutovat s kolegy, navštěvovat přednášky a workshopy v Centre for Computer Games Research.

Other academic activities

• Gamestudies.cz was the first academic site with focus on (digital) games in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. By producing the educational show SAVE° for the university television I was practically interested in game journalism. In retrospect as co-founder of non-profit organization MU Game Studies, I see sociocultural significance and scope of games as a product of human creativity, and also the processes in which people meet, play and work together rather than against each other.
