{call for papers} 15th European Conference on Games Based Learning

This call will close on 3rd March 2021.

The way in which education and training is delivered has changed considerably with the development of Game-Based Learning (GBL). The European Conference on Game-Based Learning offers an opportunity for scholars and practitioners interested in the issues related to GBL to share their thinking and research findings. Papers can cover a wide range of issues pertaining to 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, etc.

In the first instance all submission types require an abstract. For more information please go to: http://www.academic-conferences.org/conferences/ecgbl/ecgbl-call-for-papers/

After a successful Virtual conference for ECGBL 2020 we are planning for ECGBL 2021 to be a “hybrid” conference. Meaning that there will be physical events with virtual elements built into it to create an experience for both those who can attend in person and those able to attend online.
