[ecrea] CFP “Immersive Experiences in Later Age” in iLRN 2017

I would like to invite you to submit a paper to the Special Track 
“Immersive Experiences in Later Age” 
(https://immersivelrn.org/ilrn2017/special_tracks/  ), part of the 3rd 
Annual International Conference of the Immersive Learning 
ResearchNetwork – iLELA 2017, which will take place in June 26th - 29th, 
2017, at Coimbra, Portugal.

*Overview*

Over the past few years, there has been an increasing interest in using 
the potential of digital technologies to involve the learner into 
role-playing, socially embedded interactions, and mixed-reality 
environments. Although these learning experiences tend to stem from the 
advancements in today’s society, age-related changes and media 
allocation in different generations pose many challenges to both 
immersive and inclusive learning experiences. The aim of this special 
track is to discuss the challenges and strategies used in the fields of 
Information and communication technologies and gerontagogy or 
educational gerontology, in order to extend technology-enhanced learning 
to older adults.

*Topics*

The topics of interest include (but not limited to):

• Theoretical framework or literature reviews related with the role of

technologies in gerontagogy

• Development of digital artifacts for immersive learning in later age

• Theories and practices related with learning environments and active

ageing

• Case studies of learning experiences in later age

• Approaches to learning experiences, memory plasticity and cognitive

training in the aging process

• Intergenerational learning experiences

• Technology-enhanced learning and aging

*Special Track Chairs*

• Ana Isabel Veloso ((aiv /at/ ua.pt) <mailto:(aiv /at/ ua.pt)>), University of 
Aveiro, Dept. of Communication and Art, CIC.Digital/DigiMedia, Portugal


Important dates:

*February 24 - an extended abstract of 400 words*

*March 10 - paper submission*
