Frontiers in Playful Learning is intended to:
- Energize scholarly discourse about game- and play-based teaching and learning research goals, methodologies, and findings;
- Connect members of the game- and play-based academic community who are using tabletop and digital games for instruction and/or designing tabletop and digital games to deliver intellectual, educational, and creative content; and
- Provide an open-ended, playful context for discussion about current scholarly work in game- and play-based teaching and learning (e.g., Virtual Reality, Alternate Reality, Table-top RPGs, Living Card Games, Massively Multiplayer Online gaming, narrative game design, instructional games, esports, etc.)
IMPORTANTLY, this first iteration of Frontiers in Playful Learning is meant as a space for play- and game-based educators and scholars to decide how our shared community of practice should continue to evolve over the coming years, including: interdisciplinary research opportunities, 'big questions' about playful learning, best practices for instructional game design, and whether/how to host similar events in the future.
