InFocus 2015: Games, gamification and games-based learning

The 'InFocus' symposium has become one of the annual events now run by the Centre for Distance Education. This is the third event that I have helped organise and chair and I am really pleased to be sharing this event with my invited co-chair Alex Moseley who is a National Teaching Fellow, Educational Designer and Teaching Fellow at the University of Leicester. We have a really exciting programme (see below) planned with the added fun of a lunchtime boardgaming session with a selection of carefully chosen games. I love boardgames and this will be one of the many highlights of the day :)
