*Call for Papers: iGBL2014*

*Friday, June 6 2014, Cork Institute of Technology*

*The Cork Institute of Technology, in partnership with the SEGAN network,
will host the 4th Irish Symposium on Game-Based-Learning (iGBL) as a
one-day event in the Cork Institute of Technology on Friday 6th June 2014. *

As the education landscape continues to change in the post-MOOC world, new
forms of learning such as game-based learning and gamification have come to
the fore, representing new ways of motivating, engaging and challenging
students.

The use of games for learning is not a new concept, but advances in recent
years in the ability to provide and create games has meant that the roles
and effects of game-based learning are gaining recognition and the use of
games for learning is slowly but steadily gaining mass in mainstream
education.

The iGBL conference is an international conference designed to share
insight and experience with regard to the educational potential of games.
The conference has always aimed to be as inclusive as possible, bringing
together teachers, students, researchers and industry representatives who
share a common interest in using games for learning. The conference offers
opportunities to present, discuss and network with other like-minded
practitioners, as well as providing a great opportunity for those new to
the area to learn more about the different development approaches and
educational applications of games.

The iGBL2014 conference will present an energetic and compelling
programmewith a focus on new developments in games and game-based
learning, emerging
approaches to game-based learning and how these can be implemented in
formal education. The theme for iGBL2014 maintains the strands of interest
that were established in previous conferences while focusing on the core
theme of *"The growth of GBL"*

Holding fast to iGBL's history of inclusiveness, contributions are welcome
within a wide range of topics and areas, from representatives from both
industry andacademia. Completed research projects, such as action research,
case studiesand work-in-progress/posters are also welcome. Research-based
submissions may include theoretical and/or empirical studies employing
qualitative or quantitative methods. Proposals for workshops and
interactive posters are also invited.

As part of the programme, CIT's department of Media Communications and
Department of Online Delivery, in association with the SEGAN (Serious Games
Network) EU-funded project (http://seriousgamesnet.eu) will also be hosting
a summer school during the four days leading up to the conference (i.e., 2
nd - 5th June 2014 inclusive). This summer school will be focused on
teaching second level students how to design and develop educational games.
The students will present their ideas during a poster session at the
conference.
