Serious games: The challenge
19th - 21st of October 2011, Ghent, Belgium


This conference is the result of a combined effort of the Scientific Network (WO.002.07N) on 'Critical and flexible thinking' lead by the Center for Instructional Psychology and Technology of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and the Interdisciplinary research group on Technology, Education and Communication of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven - Kulak. The aim is to bring scholars together who study the use of games in educational settings from different perspectives, such as instructional design, domain specific didactics, cognitive and computer science,..... With serious games we mean a game designed with a primary focus on learning, although they can still be entertaining, this is not their prime focus.

>From October 19 through 21, 20111 C.IP.&T. and Itec will host a conference on serious games and gaming. During this three day-conference different key-note speakers will address various aspects of serious gaming
