Keynote Address:
GAMES, TALES, AND SOCIAL SPACE: REFLECTIONS ON ENGAGEMENT, INCLUSION, AND DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP
Dr. Charalambos Vrasidas, Founder and Executive Director, CARDET;
Professor of Learning Innovations and Policy and Associate Dean for elearning, University of Nicosia, Cyprus: pambos@cardet.org.
This keynote speech will synthesize lessons learned from more than 20 years of research and development in the area of digital learning. The international research Centre CARDET participated in more than 100 digital learning research projects that focus on the use of technology across several contexts.
The use of games, social media, and online tools is opening opportunities to both learners and teachers. The emphasis will be on the role of digital tools for revisiting how we teach and learn, and the potential for transforming education practices. We will focus on three key projects with interconnected themes.
1. ENTRINNO – Online game for entrepreneurship and innovation - http://www.entrinno.org. As part of this project we developed an online game teaching youth entrepreneurial skills. The project was implemented and evaluated in 8 EU countries.
2. Digital Responsible Citizenship – https://digital-citizenship.org. The DRC project seeks to improve students’ and teachers’ digital citizenship and competency in line with several components of the digital citizenship framework.
3. iDecide – http://www.idecide-project.eu. This policy reform project aims to develop an innovative toolkit and a mobile app to support evidence-based policy making. The focus is the reduction of disparities in learning outcomes and marginalization, by supporting school leaders, school staff, and policymakers to engage in shared and inclusive decision making.
We will bring together lessons learned discussing the key issues around gamification, storytelling, social media, and digital citizenship, providing recommendations for both researchers and practitioners.
