Workshop Description
Game and Toy Enhanced Learning & Society (GTEL&S)
is an emerging research area, which attracts
lots of interdisciplinary researchers involved
in it. The goal of this workshop is to discuss
the trend and development of the research area
as well as the advantages and disadvantages of
applying digital game and intelligent toy in
learning. This workshop provides a forum, with
paper presentations, and interactive sessions,
for researchers and practitioners from various
discipliners to exchange ideas.
The Objectives of the
Workshop
Digital game and intelligent toy enhanced
learning is becoming popular in academic
research as well as commercial companies. There
are more and more successful cases reported in
using games and toys in learning. Educators,
researchers as well as game-based learning
designers believe that digital games and
intelligent toys can strongly enhance learning
because children are so engaged when they play
games and toys. They also find that using game
and toy in learning can enhance learning
performance and creativity. However, the
opposite opinions from the addiction researchers
and part of parents express the hesitation in
applying digital games and toys in learning. The
positive and negative opinions leave a gap in
using digital game and intelligent toy in
learning, which needs more discussions and
interactions to cover. This workshop will be
pertinent to the ICALT 2010 participants because
digital games and intelligent toys have sparked
much interest among interdisciplinary
researchers in recent years.
