conference
I've posted information about the recent Games for Health conference, inluding a link to my pre-conference presentation slides, on the TechPsych blog. My talk focused on game accessibility for games and applications in K-12 settings. (The two pre-conference strands were Virtual Worlds and Game Accessibility.)
Participants will engage in a hands-on workshop May 27 – 30, 2008, with
the goal of creating a scholarly project; they will then be free to use
the IML labs with support staff during the summer to continue work on
the project; and they will be invited to present their completed
projects at a showcase event in August. Participants will receive an
honorarium of $1,000 for their participation in the workshop.
I'm excited! Lulu, our Creative Commons publisher, has just delivered the first copies of "Electronic Techtonics: Thinking at the Interface," the Proceedings of the First International HASTAC Conference. You can download a PDF for free from Lulu or buy a printed copy (for $12.24) sent from directly to you by clicking here: http://www.lulu.com/content/2124631
Register closes on April 15 for a fantastic conference hosted by the University of Maryland on "Digital Diasporas," May 1-3, 2008. Here's the conference url: http://www.mith2.umd.edu/diaspora2008/
On YouTube you can find two trailers that give you a taste of HASTAC's first international conference, "Electronic Techtonics: Thinking at the Interface," held at Duke last April. These trailers should also whet your appetite for the upcoming HASTAC movie--and an appetite for HASTAC II. The RFP came out today!
