ISAGA 2009 (Singapore, from 2009-06-29 08:30 to 2009-07-03 17:30) — by Jose Zagal

ISAGA 2009 will be held in Singapore - 29 June to 3 July 2009. This will be a special event, being both the 40th Anniversary and the 1st S.E.Asian ISAGA conference. The theme of the conference is "Learn to Game, Game to Learn". We learn about games and simulations; and then we learn from games and simulations. The conference theme embodies this double aspect. Between the learning and the game are people, methodology, and technology. The theme acknowledges the idea that players should first learn how to play and participate before being able to learn. It also acknowledges the idea that teachers, trainers and researchers should learn about games and simulations, and how to use them. They should also learn about the methodologies and technologies. Then they may help their participants to reach through the methodology and technology to the games and simulations that they organize.
