Greetings,</div>

<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">I’d like to invite you to join me in a creating decidedly different special issue of a journal which does NOT require you to write a research article. I’m looking for thought provoking short reflective pieces from a wide range
of researchers, practitioners, entrepreneurs, and gamers that answer the following questions:</div>
<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<blockquote style="font-size:13.3333px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;line-height:17.3333px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">
<p><i>Given what you’ve seen arising in research and practice in digital media, performance, and decision support and based on your own research as well as that of others, what are the key areas of research and development that excite you?</i></p>
<p><i>What interests you about these areas in terms of the potential benefits to learners, teachers and the practice of education?</i></p>
<p><i>What new or additional research and development is needed next to help push the field forward in these areas?</i></p>
<p><i>How do you think the new advances will influence game-inspired digital learning experiences (design, learning, research) in the near future?</i></p>
<p><i>You can throw caution to the wind, or if that is impossible, then what should the field be cautious about in relation to your thoughts about the near future?</i></p>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div style="color:rgb(0,0,0)">I’m interested in first-person pieces that will read more like interviews than ‘articles or chapters’ - and I hope you can spend a few minutes to pen me an improvised masterpiece (2 to 4 pages by Dec 1). I hope you will <span style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255);line-height:17.3333px">paint
a picture of the "adjacent possible" future based on your recent thinking, solid hints from basic research in your field, and on feasible research programs that could be undertaken today if funding and time were made available.</span></div>

If you know of someone who you think should be included in such reflections, feel free to share this with him or her. Please send to one or two colleagues and mentors in your personal network.</div>
