Call for papers:
International Conference: ReLIVE08 (Researching Learning in Virtual
Environments), November 20-21, 2008, The Open University, Milton Keynes,
UK.
The Open University, UK is pleased to announce that it is now accepting
submissions for ReLIVE08, an international conference for Researching
Learning in Virtual Environments to be held at its campus in Milton
Keynes on the 20th and 21st of November 2008. This conference will be of
interest to anyone researching learning and teaching in 3-D virtual
environments such as Second Life.
The conference organisers are keen to construct a programme that
features diverse and innovative research approaches to learning and
teaching in virtual worlds. Given the emerging practice associated with
virtual worlds, the conference committee are also keen to receive papers
reporting on the experience of learning and teaching using virtual
worlds that relate practice and outcomes to literature and research in
this area. We anticipate that submissions will reflect a range of
research methods and will examine issues such as rigour, methods of
sampling, relationships between researchers and researched, and the
ethics and politics of the research process.
Our keynote speakers are Edward Castranova and Roo Reynolds. Dr
Castranova is Associate Professor in the Department of
Telecommunications at Indiana University, Bloomington and an expert on
the economies of large-scale online games. Andrew (Roo) Reynolds is a
Metaverse Evangelist based at IBM's Hursley Park laboratory in the UK,
facilitating the use of Virtual Worlds within IBM.
The conference will feature special guests, invited speakers and a
conference dinner with an after dinner speaker and entertainment, so
promises to be thought-provoking as well as entertaining and an
excellent opportunity for networking in the field. All papers will be
published in a conference proceedings and a selection of papers will be
published in an additional academic format.
