LKL's Niall Winters and Yishay Mor are organising a workshop on designing games for learning at the 1st World Conference for Fun 'n Games, June 26, 2006.
This workshop is intended as an interactive forum in which to discuss the important issues and challenges that arise when attempting to capture the knowledge sharing process involved in the design and development of game environments for learning. It will offer new perspectives on the range of expertise required for undertaking this process, based primarily on the work of the ongoing Learning patterns for the design and deployment of mathematical games project. The workshop will focus on motivating the use of a design pattern approach, drawing on the project's literature review, typologies, and evolving sets of case studies and patterns. To this end participants will engage in the hands-on development of design patterns, facilitated by experts in the field. The aim is to disseminate the use of patterns as an enabling tool for sharing good practice through pattern-specific communication and knowledge sharing. More details see: |
