We recently completed the final pilot of the European Union funded education project ARGuing for Multilingual Motivation in Web 2.0..  This project has built an ARG to promote language learning in secondary school students called ‘The Tower of Babel’…We will be presenting academic papers on the project at the forthcoming  European Association for Games in Education conference in October, Graz, Austria and will be placing documentation on the project website as well.

Check out the ARGuing summary video if you’re interested in ARGs in education, or ARGs in Europe, or ARGs in general!

Future-Making Serious Games has more ARGuing coverage.

From the website:

With sessions and panels by leading ARG designers, academics and educators in the field, this conference is an exceptional introduction to ‘serious ARGs’. For developers and commissioners of ARGs, it’s a great chance to learn about recent games and developments in the UK and around the world, and to network with key players.

Session 1: Policy, Engagement, & Action – casual serious games, virtual worlds, Visual Web and ARGs. What is the roadmap ahead?

Chaired by Margaret Robertson

Speakers include:

Dan Hon, Six to Start
Gobion Rowlands, Red Redemption
Cultural, policy needs and current affairs are looking for new avenues to bring meaning and awareness to their messages and engage (and educate) their audiences – taking a leaf from the books of games and learning providers.

Learning providers are looking to the media and the entertainment sectors to discover the elusive art of ‘digital engagement’ and story-telling. What is the roadmap ahead?
