Call for Contributions

 SAGSET 2001 - Employability: the Role of Games Simulations 
 and Case Studies

 Annual Conference of the Society for the Advancement of 
 Games and Simulations in Education and Training

  July 17 -19, 2001

  at the University of Leeds, a joint collaboration between SAGSET 
and the Context Project

 The conference is a forum for the discussion of the use of games 
 and simulations in education and training. The Context project, 
 which promotes the use of case materials and simulations in 
 higher education, has been instrumental in developing many such 
 materials.  This year's conference is on the theme of 
 employability and the development of key skills.  Our aim is to 
 discuss ways in which the use of games and simulations develops 
 students and employees.  The conference will provide a venue 
 for the presentation of papers about use and design as well as an 
 opportunity to explore the use of existing games and simulation 
 with colleagues in related areas.  The kinds of activities 
 considered are:

 Games
 Simulations
 Role Play Exercises
 Icebreakers and Warm Ups
 Case Studies
 Experiential Learning Activities
 
 We invite proposals for contributions to the conference in the 
 form of seminars or workshops that take up the themes of 
 employability and the development of key skills.
 
 Sessions will be either half an hour or one hour long.  The hour 
 long sessions (workshops) provide the opportunity for 
 interactivity and experiential learning for the participants, the half 
 hour sessions (seminars) will normally provide the opportunity 
 for 10 minutes of questionsat the end.  Please indicate whether 
you want  to lead a seminar or an interactive workshop.
