Hello
I
thought you would like to know that the response to the call
for papers for the
6th
European Conference on Games Based Learning (ECGBL-2012) being held at
The River Lee Hotel, Cork, Ireland on the 4-5 October 2012
has been
excellent, but as usual we have had a number of requests for
extensions.
Therefore we are holding the call open until 30th
of March 2012. So
now would be a good time to circulate the call for papers to
your contacts one
more time.
We
only require an abstract at this time and you will find a full
call for papers,
including a pdf to download at:
http://academic-conferences.org/ecgbl/ecgbl2012/ecgbl12-call-papers.htm
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.
Publication
opportunity
Papers
accepted for the conference will be published in the
conference proceedings,
subject to author registration and payment. Selected papers
will also be
considered for publication in a special issue of the
Electronic Journal of
e-Learning and to the International Journal of Game-Based
Learning. The latest
issue of the Electronic Journal of e-Learning is available to
read online.
Kind
regards
