[AISWorld] 5th European Conference on Games Based Learning - Extended Call for Papers

[Sue Nugus]

Hello

The response to the call for papers for the 5th European Conference on
Games Based Learning being held at The National and Kapodistrian
University of Athens, Greece on the 20-21 October 2011 has been
excellent, but as usual we have had a number of requests for extensions.
Therefore we are holding the call open until the 14th of April 2011, so
now would be a good time to circulate the call for papers to your
contacts one more time.

Over the last ten years, the way in which education and training is
delivered has changed considerably with the advent of new technologies.
One such new technology that holds considerable promise for helping to
engage learners is Games-Based Learning (GBL). The Conference offers an
opportunity for scholars and practitioners interested in the issues
related to GBL to share their thinking and research findings. Papers can
cover various issues and aspects of GBL in education and training:
technology and implementation issues associated with the development of
GBL; use of mobile and MMOGs for learning; pedagogical issues associated
with GBL; social and ethical issues in GBL; GBL best cases and
practices, and other related aspects. We are particularly interested in
empirical research that addresses whether GBL enhances learning. This
Conference provides a forum for discussion, collaboration and
intellectual exchange for all those interested in any of these fields of
research or practice. 

The conference committee welcomes both academic and practitioner papers
on a wide range of topics using a range of scholarly approaches
including theoretical and empirical papers employing qualitative,
quantitative and critical methods.  Action research, case studies and
work in progress/posters are welcomed approaches. PhD Research,
proposals for roundtable discussions, non-academic contributions and
product demonstrations based on the main themes are also invited.

You can find calls for papers for these tracks at:

Conference proceedings are submitted for accreditation on publication.
Please note that depending on the accreditation body this process can
take up to several months.

Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the conference
proceedings, subject to author registration. Papers presented at the
conference will also be considered for publication in a special issue of
the Electronic Journal of e-Learning.

Papers presented at the conference will be published in the conference
proceedings, subject to author registration and payment. 

 

For the first time there will be a prize for the best PhD paper and the
best Poster presented at the conference.

 

Please feel free to circulate this message to any colleagues or contacts
you think may be interested.
