Call for Participation: Narrative and Interactive Learning Environments
Conference 2008

Edinburgh, Scotland 5th -8th August 2008

www.nile2008.org

****MUST REGISTER BY 1st JULY****

Please join us at the 5th International Conference on Narrative and
Interactive Learning Environments 2008 from 5th-8th August in Edinburgh,
Scotland.



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. For a list of papers which will be presented, see
www.nile2008.org/2008/05/conference-prog.html. Topics include:



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 issues considering design approaches or examining evaluation
methods for narrative learning environments.
To register, go to www.nile2008.org/conference-payment-inform.html.
Registration deadline: 1st July 2008. Book early to avoid
disappointment: accommodation is hard to find in Edinburgh at this time
of year, due to the Edinburgh Festival.
