Hello
This is a second 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.
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.
