Narrative in Interactive Learning Environments 2008
5-8 August 2008, Edinburgh
http://judyrobertson.typepad.com/nile_2008/

Call for Papers
In the last ten years there has been a noticeable increase in the
application of narrative and drama to a variety of contexts broadly in
the area of education. These applications have drawn on theories that
are both relevant to the design and generation of learning environments
and to the ways in which learners construct their own understanding of
their experience. The NILE 2008 conference will further develop this
emerging field. 

Paper submissions
NILE 2008 welcomes academic paper submissions of the following types:

Theoretical contributions including: design principles for effective
narrative learning environments, interactive narrative, developing
learner autonomy and supporting the relationship between teachers and
learners. 
Results of empirical studies and case studies of educational narrative
technology.
Design and evaluation of innovative narrative interactive learning
environments: web application, software, games, interactive television.
Methodology papers considering design approaches or examining evaluation
methods for narrative learning environments.
Papers should be no more than 8 pages long and should be emailed to the
Conference Chair (Judy.Robertson at hw.ac.uk) by Monday 3rd March 2008.

Other contributions
We welcome a variety of contributions including artistic narrative
performances, training workshops, demos and other hands-on activities.
Please contact the Conference Chair to discuss your ideas:
Judy.Robertson at hw.ac.uk.

All submissions will be peer reviewed. Accepted contributions will be
presented at the conference. A special journal issue is planned; details
will be announced at the conference.
