In response to the emerging research diversity, ICCE2009 will be a meta-conference – a conference of collocated theme-based conferences. This is the Call for Papers for the theme-based conference, C5: ICCE Conference on DIGITEL, standing for “Digital Game and Intelligent Toy Enhanced Learning”. The spurring interest in deriving pedagogical principles and design from video games and digital toys offers a new angle of designing ‘how to learn’ in the future. More specifically, DIGITEL puts ‘why to learn’ (motivation and engagement) as a prominent element in our design. How to relate that element with other elements: ‘how well to learn’ (learning performance), ‘what to learn’ (domain knowledge), “what to learn with’ (computer programs or digital toys, virtual characters or robots), ‘where to learn’ (physical settings or online), and ‘who to learn with’ (individuals or teams) are the fundamental issues of investigation. Such endeavor will lead to significant extension of the horizon of technology enhanced learning research.

The scope of the DIGITEL will cover but not be limited to:

• Foundation and Theory for Design
• Evaluation
• Case Studies and Exemplars
• Artificial Intelligence
• Virtual Characters
• Virtual Storytelling and Game Narrative
• Multiplayer and Social Game Design
• Simulation and Animation
• Entertainment Robots and Digital Toys for Education
• Augmented/Mixed Reality
• Interface
• Training
• Sport
• Non-Visual Senses (Smelling, Touching, Hearing)
• Mobile Games and its Linking to Online Games
• Location-Based Games and Ubiquitous Technology
• Identity, Roles, and Role-Playing
• Optimal Experience and Flow
• Engagement and Emotion
• Collaboration, Competition and Communities
• Social and Cultural Aspect
• Wii-Like Learning Technology
