<p class=MsoNormal>Hello<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The response to the call for papers for the <b>5th European
Conference on Games Based Learning </b>being held at <b>The National and
Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece on the 20-21 October 2011 </b>has
been excellent, but as usual we have had a number of requests for extensions.
Therefore we are holding the call open until the <b>14<sup>th</sup> of April
2011</b>, so now would be a good time to circulate the call for papers to your
contacts one more time.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>You can find calls for papers for these tracks at:<o:p></o:p></p>

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Conference proceedings are submitted for accreditation on
publication. Please note that depending on the accreditation body this process
can take up to several months.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Papers presented at the conference will be published in the
conference proceedings, subject to author registration and payment. <o:p></o:p></p>
