Seventh European Conference on Games Based Learning, Porto, Portugal
3 October 2013 - 3 October 2013
Portugal
The Seventh European Conference on Games Based Learning will be held from 3 to 4 October 2013 in Porto, Portugal.
Games have been acknowledged for the role they can play in learning as well as for the development of skills such as socialization, teamwork, leadership, decision making and collaborative learning. Games have been successfully used in three distinct areas: training, formal education and non-formal education. However, the use of game-based learning is still limited. This is due to social concerns, stereotypes about impact of games on education, and a lack of extended evidence on their effective application.
The event will be a forum for researchers to exchange ideas and best practices as well promote a wider adoption of Game-Based Learning (GBL) in Europe.For further information, please visit:
