We are happy to announce the call for proposals for the third annual Connected Learning Summit (CLS), to be held at MIT July 29-31, 2020. You can find a statement about the decision to hold the event at MIT here.

We encourage the submission of academic papers and project presentations as well as more innovative session formats which focus on digital technologies for learning, educational and commercial games and other media, innovative tech-infused curricula, and theoretical and/or empirical exploration of digital media and technology for learning.

Abstracts from all session types will be included in the Connected Learning Summit Conference Proceedings. Research papers will be published in full, and subject to blind peer review. All other session formats will be subject to committee review.

The mission of the CLS is to fuel a growing movement of innovators harnessing the power of emerging technology to expand access to participatory, playful, and creative learning. It represents a merger between three community events with this shared vision and values: the Digital Media and Learning Conference, the Games+Learning+Society Conference, and Sandbox Summit.

With a unique focus on cross-sector connections and progressive and catalytic innovation, the event brings together leading researchers, educators and developers. The program includes a mix of engaging presentation and workshop formats ranging from speculative design, to game walkthroughs, sharing work in progress, and research panels.
