[AISWorld] First call for papers for the 8th European Conference on Games Based Learning 2014

[Sue Nugus]

Hello 

This is a first call for papers for the 8th European Conference on Games
Based Learning, Hosted by Research and Training Center for Culture and
Computer Science (FKI) University of Applied Sciences HTW Berlin,
Germany being held on the 9-10 October 2014.

This call will close on 20th March 2014.

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

Game competition

A competition for the best educational game will be held again at ECGBL
2014. In the first instance we will be asking for abstracts describing
the game and further information will be sent to applicants thereafter. 

In the first instance all submission types require an abstract. For more
information please go to:

Publication opportunity

Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the conference
proceedings, subject to author registration and payment. Selected papers
that have been presented at the conference will also be considered for
publication in a special issue of the Electronic Journal of e-Learning
and the International Journal of Game-Based Learning.

 

Kind regards
