Please join us at the 5th International Conference on Narrative and Interactive Learning Environments 2008 from 5th-8th August in Edinburgh, Scotland.

In the last ten years there has been a noticeable increase in the application of narrative and drama to a variety of contexts broadly in the area of education. These applications have drawn on theories that are both relevant to the design and generation of learning environments and to the ways in which learners construct their own understanding of their experience. The NILE 2008 conference will further develop this emerging field. For a list of papers which will be presented, see www.nile2008.org/2008/05/conference-prog.html. Topics include:
Theoretical contributions including: design principles for effective narrative learning environments, interactive narrative, developing learner autonomy and supporting the relationship between teachers and learners. Results of empirical studies and case studies of educational narrative technology. Design and evaluation of innovative narrative interactive learning environments: web application, software, games, interactive television. Methodology issues considering design approaches or examining evaluation methods for narrative learning environments.
