<p style="margin-bottom:16.05pt"><b><span style="font-size:16px">SPECIAL ISSUE ON GAMES FOR LEARNING</span></b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:14.9pt"><b><span>Guest Editors: Edd Schneider & Kurt Squire</span></b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span>In the past decade, games for learning have evolved from a theoretical possibility to innovations used by millions of students. In addition to games developed by academic labs or their spinoff companies, enterprise-level
solutions are being designed so as to bring learning games to scale. As the field matures, we are no longer asking "If" we should build games, but rather what kinds of games should we build and how should we build them.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span>Now is a good time to generate design cases that might help designers vicariously experience other designs, understand how they are experienced by users, and deepen their own design sophistication. The International Journal
of Designs for Learning is soliciting manuscripts of design cases of learning games. We want game designers to share the design stories, with an emphasis on innovative games that push our understanding of the medium. Good design cases present both the design
and the thinking behind the design to provide readers with a vicarious experience of the design process. The upcoming issue will use an expansive view of games to include design cases in AR, VR, or analog games. Similarly, it welcomes design cases in games
for learning broadly, so as to include social impact and indie games. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span>Design cases should strive to provide readers a vicarious experience of game play and highlight key moments in the design process. Designers are encouraged to be as vivid as possible in describing game play, using visual
and audio media as appropriate. Similarly, we welcome transparency in describing surprises, failures, and unintended consequences. Manuscripts are encouraged to highlight where designers' expectations were confounded, and how designs evolved in situ. Game
play data, such as user observations, are not required but are often helpful for describing the evolution of design.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><b><span>Design of a learning games, including the philosophy and decisions behind a design:</span></b><span> Frequently, learning games exist to test or expand particular design philosophies,
such as mitigating cognitive bias through empathic experiences, learning engineering through construction or rethinking current events through narrative history. Design studies can illustrate issues in enacting these design approaches and how initial intentions
were modified. These approaches might focus on how a design hypothesis does or does not materialize, and most often, how designers develop more nuanced or sophisticated understandings of the design space.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><b><span>Uses of new data sources in game design:</span></b><span> The availability of new data sources (such as click stream data) and data analytic techniques (such as machine learning)
make it possible to marshal new forms of data when understanding what users do with games. Papers may focus on the strengths and limitations of these new data sources for supporting design in context.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><b><span>Supporting youth in game design:
</span></b><span>Case studies of attempts to support youth in learning both the practices of game design, as well as traditional academic areas. Constructionist approaches to game design frequently position learners as designers, which presents unique learning
opportunities and challenges (Baytak & Land, 2010; Kafai & Burke, 2014).</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><b><span>Inventing new forms of play and technological infrastructure for learning:</span></b><span> Emerging technologies such as mobile devices, VR, and wearable computers enable forms
of play. Design papers that detail processes for inventing new forms of play and new forms of infrastructure for supporting play, with an emphasis on how key features form, evolve, or are discarded are encouraged.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><b><span>The mangle of play: How cultures appropriate games:</span></b><span> As players inhabit games and new strategies and forms of play emerge, designers frequently need to adapt games
in response. As such, design narratives might detail the interplay between game play, culture, and design through the life of a product.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><b><span>Emerging genres and new forms of game play:</span></b><span> As the case unfolds, it should suggest new forms of game play, such as crowd-sourced games, that are constantly emerging.
Papers detailing the exploration of new genres, particularly around social or technical innovations are encouraged.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:14pt"><b><span>Submission Types</span></b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15.95pt"><b><span>Full Design Case</span></b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span>5000-7000+ words, with as many multimedia and/or visual elements as available. The goal of this submission is equally to explain the experience of the design, visually and textually, and to explain how it came to be the way
that it is. Authors are invited to submit design cases for experiences or materials they have created themselves. However, the descriptive case can come through interviews with designers, stakeholders, and/or users, analysis of related artifacts surrounding
the design/design process, or reconstruction based on previously published marketing and/ or academic materials. Your abstract should include the targeted design, its relevance, and any resources you will need to locate.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:15.95pt"><b><span>Brief Design Case</span></b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span>500-1500 words, a primarily visual presentation of a design with accompanying text used to annotate and explain the artifact and its experience as depicted in the images and/or video. Your abstract should include the targeted
design, and any existing resources that you are aware of.</span></p>

<p style="margin-bottom:15.95pt"><b><span>What is a design case?</span></b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12pt"><span>A design case is a description of a real artifact or experience that has been intentionally designed, and offers an in-depth explanation of the rationale for the design, including how that design came to be the way that it
is. Transparency of the design process through detailed description is important such that the reader can deeply understand and empathize with the unique design situation. Detailed description of the asks and responds to questions such as:</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><span>What key decisions were made?</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><span>At what points in the process did these decisions arise?</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><span>Who was involved in the making of these decisions?</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><span>What was the rationale or reasoning behind these decisions?</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt 0.5in"><span>•<span> </span></span><span>How were key design decisions judged to be useful or not?</span></p>
