Sub-conference C3:

Joyful Learning and Society

Joyful learning becomes an important research field when researchers believe enjoyable experience and learning promote information processing and memory storage. With the development of the technology, government, academy, and industry apply computer techniques to build joyful learning environment. For example, Microsoft released the educational edition of Minecraft in 2016 for educators designing materials; students can use the in-game camera or scrapbook designed for the educational edition to work their assignments in the virtual world.

Although joyful learning makes big difference in education, it still faces many issues that need to be solved. The sub-conference is interested in exploring how to motivate students in learning though game. We are also curious about how to design learning activities that enhance students’ collaborative, problem solving, or critical thinking skills. We, of course, are looking for research that understands how students’ learning processes in joyful learning environment affect their behavior and performance. Any other topics about games in education and joyful learning are also welcome.

This sub-conference invites people from all fields who are interested in learning with games. Business communities are most welcome, as the dialogue among researchers, educators and industry will foster the use of games for education.

The scope of papers will cover but not be limited to:

1)    Theories on joyful learning and learning with games in general

2)    Design of learning activities (for joyful learning, collaboration, citizenship and others)

3)    Advanced joyful learning technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, personalization, adaptive system, cross-platform gaming mechanism, augmented reality, etc.)

4)    Design, development and application of joyful learning

5)    Comparison of joyful learning vs traditional schooling

6)    Effectiveness of joyful learning and its processes

7)    Joyful learning and education innovation

8)    Joyful learning and high-order skills (problem-solving skills, creativity, et.)

9)    Joyful learning, social and culture

10) Joyful learning and adolescent development

11) Successful cases of joyful learning

12) Difficulty and obstacles that joyful learning research encounter
