Popis: The paper presents early results of the first European applied game-jam network called JamToday. The JamToday Network was set-up in 2014 with the support from the European Commission Programme CIP-ICT-PSP being the first pan-European Network dedicated to applied game design. It brings together different types of partners (such as creative clusters, game companies, education and research institutes, public sector institutions, municipalities etc.) from various sectors, fields and expertise for running game jams across Europe to make a real change in making games on themes like eSkills, Health & Wellbeing and Learning Maths and applying them in learning environments. The paper presents the work achieved by the JamToday Network in the first two years and very concrete and practical tools and methodologies developed by the JamToday Network to support game-design approaches for learning environments from design to transfer and evaluation.
