A post game jam questionnaire was implemented, to gather students’ feedback. Cooperation was among one of the most important gains from this experience mentioned by students, as well as the promotion of their relationship with their peers. The fact that this process happened as the kick off for the second semester, was also seen as an interesting creative trigger.
