Berlin (GER), July 2014 - The eighth European Conference on Games Based Learning, hosted by the Research and Training Center for Culture and Computer Science of Berlin's HTW University of Applied Sciences, takes place 09 - 10 October 2014. Good games provide great experiences. They motivate players to play them for mastery, exploration, social bonding, narrative pleasure, imagination, competition, or walking the edge of losing control.
Games are played in short bursts or long sessions, during spare time, while commuting, in breaks and at work. Good games may even alter your views and perceptions. ECGBL 2014 will offer an opportunity for the presentation of research, theory, application, practice, and validation in the field of game-based learning. The second International Educational/Serious Games Competition will be hosted at the Conference in Berlin, too.
