Where is the real hard learning in a game?
Can you use a game based learning approach to knowledge transfer or IT training?
Is there more to this than meets the eye?
Used appropriately games will undoubtedly be a useful addition to the learning mix. This one day seminar will explore the subject from the corporate, learner and instructional design viewpoints, illustrating where game based learning really will work – and where it won’t.

The Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT) at NUI Galway is delighted to announce our 5th Annual Teaching and Learning Conference, to take place on the 7th and 8th June, 2007. This year, the title is "Learning Technologies: from Pilot to Mainstream" and amongst the visiting keynotes are the distinguished elearning consultant and writer, Stephen Heppell; Prof. Wim van Petagem from K.U. Leuven, Prof Ray Land from the University of Strathclyde, Prof Michael Kerres (University of Duisberg Essen).
Aimed at academic staff (and suitable also for learning support staff) in higher education, this conference will focus on practical issues in the implementation and use of a range of technologies, providing insight into emerging "good practice," real world challenges and future potential. Our emphasis will be on teaching and learning, rather than technical issues and through a series of presentations, discussions and practical sessions we hope to be able to share experience and nurture networks of practitioners.
