 that is implemented as a two‐semester project in the course "Application of ICT in education". The methodology is
 carefully designed and its application has various positive outcomes. Serious game as a final product is just a side effect of
 the more important goal, i.e. achieving competences that are crucial for teachers. Such competences include the ability to
