Call for Proposals

The Teach, Play, Learn Conference is accepting proposals for presentations on real-life usage, empirical studies, and/or theoretical discussions of game-based teaching and learning. We are particularly interested in interactive workshops involving the best practices of teaching with games or playful elements in the classroom.

Possible topics may include:

• use of board, card, or video games for educational purposes
• gamification of the course
• simulations and role playing
• use of Augmented and/or Virtual Reality (AR, VR)
• study and research of games in the context of education
• use of games in other educational contexts

Presenters will be asked to choose one of two session options:

• Concurrent Sessions will be 45 minutes long, presenters should leave 5-10 minutes at the end of their session for discussion.
• Quick Hits are lightning-fast micro-presentations that are 5 minutes in total length.

When submitting your proposal, you will be asked to select whether you would be willing to present in an alternate format depending on the overall needs of the conference.

Proposals must include the following and be submitted online:

1. Session format: Concurrent (45 minutes) or Quick Hit (5 minutes)
2. Title of session/talk
3. Elevator Pitch (100 words max for conference program)
4. Abstract (400 words max)
5. Nature and requirements of any interactive elements (concurrent only)

The review process involves a blind reading and feedback by three peers and a final review by the Teach, Play, Learn Conference planning committee members. Proposals are due by 11:59 pm on Monday, April 12, 2021. The contact person on each proposal will be notified of the proposal status in early May.
