CALL FOR PAPERS, Second International Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Games (STEG'09)

Second International Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Games
(STEG'09)
CALL FOR PAPERS
The Second Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Gaming (STEG'09)
will be held in conjunction with the 8th International Conference on
Web-based Learning (ICWL'09, http://www.hkws.org/events/icwl2009/),
Aachen, Germany, August 19-21, 2009.
CONTEXT AND MOTIVATION
The Second Workshop on Story-Telling and Educational Gaming (STEG'09)
will be a continuative event to bring together international researchers
from the story-telling and educational gaming research areas, based on
the success of the First STEG Workshop (STEG'08). STEG'08 was held as a
one-day event triggering fruitful discussions and reporting advanced
research progress in this area. More information about STEG'08 can be
reinforce the international community and to explore advanced research
in this research domain.
Stories and story-telling are cultural achievements of significant
relevance even in modern times. Nowadays, story-telling is being
enhanced with the convergence of sociology, pedagogy, and technology. In
recent years, computer gaming has also been deployed for educational
purposes and has proved to be an effective approach to mental
stimulation and intelligence development. Many conceptual similarities
and some procedural correlation exist between story-telling and
educational gaming. Therefore these two areas can be clubbed for
research on Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). Many facets of
story-telling and educational gaming emulate real life processes, which
can be represented either as complex story graphs or as interleaved
sub-problems. This model is congruent with that used for Technology
Enhanced Learning in vocational training. TEL in vocational training
requires learning models that focus more on the process and less on the
content.
The main difference between educational games and story-telling lies in
the user’s motivational point of view. Story-telling aims at reliving
real life tasks and capturing previous experiences in problem-solving
for reuse, while educational games reproduce real life tasks in a
virtual world in an (ideally) engaging and attractive process.
Nevertheless, educational games require highly specialized technical and
pedagogical skills and learning processes to cover the topics in
sufficient depth and breadth. Imbalance between depth and breadth of
study can lead to producing trivial games, which in turn can lead to
de-motivating the learner.
While the integration of learning and gaming provides a great
opportunity, several motivational challenges (particularly in vocational
training) must also be addressed to ensure successful realization.
Non-linear digital stories are an ideal starting point for the creation
of educational games, since each story addresses a certain problem, so
that the story recipient can gain benefit from other users’ experiences.
This leads to the development of more realistic stories, which can
provide the kernel for developing non-trivial educational videogames as
a further step. These stories can cover the instructional portion of an
educational game, while the game would add the motivation and engagement
part.
In summary, this workshop aims at bringing together researchers, experts
and practitioners from the domains of non-linear digital interactive
story-telling and educational gaming to share ideas and knowledge. There
is a great amount of separate research in these two fields and the
celebration of this workshop will allow the participants to discover and
leverage potential synergies.

Vous souhaitez mettre en oeuvre un projet de recherche au niveau européen

Vous souhaitez mettre en oeuvre un projet de recherche au niveau européen mais les ressources propres de votre organisme et des autres membres de votre partenariat ne vous permettent pas de vous lancer. Dès lors, vous vous tournez vers les programmes de financement et notamment le 7e Programme Cadre de Recherche et Développement (PCRD) de la Commission européenne qui offre un large choix de possibilités. Manque de chance, aucun appel à propositions n'est ouvert dans la thématique qui correspond à votre projet...

Que faire ? :

-         commencer à préparer votre projet sans tenir compte de l'appel au risque de devoir en réviser une partie ? ;

-         attendre les Journées d'Informations proposées par les pouvoirs publics nationaux ? En général elles sont organisées à quelques jours de la publication et les orateurs ne s'aventurent pas trop dans les détails ;

-         attendre la prochaine publication bien que la période actuelle vous était propice à un montage de projet et qu'en général une fois l'appel publié il ne reste que 2 à 3 mois pour tout préparer et soumettre votre proposition de projet (c'est faisable mais c'est peu !) ;

-         essayer de récupérer un « draft » en circulation mais se le procurer n'est pas toujours évident. La Commission européenne et les Points de Contact Nationaux ne sont pas toujours enclins à le communiquer et les cabinets conseils n'y ont pas accès automatiquement...

 

Bien évidemment un accès aux « drafts » plus systématique et plus transparent serait un idéal car il permettrait de commencer à préparer votre projet dans des conditions plus cadrées dès le départ tout en vous laissant suffisamment de temps pour en étudier les moindres ficelles (6 mois c'est bien !). D'un autre côté, une plus large diffusion signifierait aussi plus de concurrence et peut-être aussi un appauvrissement en terme de créativité, ou encore un délaissement des financements nationaux...

Bref, et vous, qu'en pensez-vous ?
