Playing an interactive game and learn to read, spell and understand new words at the same time? It’s possible with Superhero Island 2.0, an educational game concept developed by Creative Learning Lab. ‘Kinect in het Onderwijs’ organized a competition in order to stimulate successful embodied learning applications and games. ‘Superhero Island 2.0’, an educational game concept by Waag’s Creative Learning Lab, was one of the winners.

 

Karien Vermeulen and Marloeke van der Vugt will talk about the emodiment learning installation: Cylinder-Rollingstairs-Seesaw, which is part of the MediaLab 2014. As an embodied learning project they will talk with the participants about embodied learning. What is it and why is it important? What can we expect from such projects and knowledge in the future?

 

From interactive playgrounds to online tools that predict future climate changes and apps that could prevent sport injuries. Just some examples of 50 innovative applications that were shown on 2 October 2014 during the The Big Future of Data event of the COMMIT/ research programme.

 

Recently, Creative Learning Lab of Waag published a collection of papers on 'Embodiment' for the COMMIT/ Play embodied learning projects we carried out in the last years. Several authors share their vision on the subject in six articles.

 

The 'Mood Room' developed by Waag is an interactive installation that was created as part of the Play section of the COMMIT research programme. It uses 'embodied learning': a form of learning where to whole body is used to get results.

 

This year our embodied learning installation will be part of the Cinekid Medialab. Visitors of the festival can try out the installation.
