1st International Workshop on Pedagogically-driven Serious Games (PDSG 2012)
In conjunction with EC-TEL 2012
Accepted authors will be invited for a special issue in the International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning
Technology Enhanced Learning is a promising area where Serious Games can have an impact beyond pure entertainment. Despite this potential, two issues stand in the way of achieving learning effects:
- Few pedagogical theories are sufficiently formalized to allow implementation
- Pedagogical principles are implicitly implemented in the game story, structure, and characters, so that it is very difficult to test different theories on the same game mechanics. This results in low reusability and high costs
To address these issues, this workshop focuses on:
- Formalizations of pedagogical theories potentially capable to drive the elements in a game's world, such as narrative and characters' behaviour
- Game frameworks based on storytelling, explicit game mechanics and intelligent agents that can provide an environment to implement pedagogical formalizations
Creating innovative environments to enhance the learning experience
David Istance (CERI & OCDE) will talk about Innovative Learning Environments and ongoing projects such as 'Schooling for Tomorrow'.
Born to learn
Born to learn is a fun, thought-provoking series of animations that illustrate ground-breaking new discoveries about how humans learn.
