ACADEMIC DAYS ON GAME DEVELOPMENT IN COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION
Where  Computer Gaming and Education Meet
February 28‹March 3, 2008

Conference Overview
GDCSE Œ08 ­ the Third Annual Microsoft Academic Days Conference on Game
Development in Computer Science Education ­ is a focal point for academic
efforts using computer and console games within the Computer Science
curriculum. Jointly sponsored by Microsoft Research and Electronic Arts and
held in cooperation with ACM SIGCSE, the conference is targeted at both
computer science educators and researchers, promoting new efforts in the
creation and management of courses and curriculum using game development.
The conference, now in its third year, will be held aboard the Celebrity
Century cruise ship, departing from and returning to Miami, FL with port
calls in Key West and Cozumel, Mexico. GDCSE Œ08 will include talks by
invited speakers, presentation of peer-reviewed papers, hands-on tutorials
and birds-of-a-feather meetings focusing on a range of topics related to the
use of games in computer science education. We invite researchers and
educators to share insights and cutting-edge results relating to the use of
games and game technologies in both formal and informal educational
contexts.
