Abstract
Minecraft Education is widely available within institutions, but it rarely used at HE level within the classroom. Researchers at Teesside University have developed Minecraft Education Worlds for teaching forensic science and paramedic studies by allowing students to immerse themselves within an interactive scene. By using gamification techniques, researchers have found students are more engaged with their studies, have higher enjoyment levels and are provided with a space in which they can exercise their existing knowledge. Minecraft Education is readily available within the HE environment making it the perfect vehicle for innovative and engaging L&T practices.
