call for thought pieces and papers
With the theme of “Ideas for the Future,” we seek proposals for presentations in either of these two forms: Thought Pieces and Papers. All submissions must be received by September 19, 2008.
Thought Pieces invite participants to choose the medium that best conveys their ideas for the future of digital media (words, pictures, sounds, whatever). Thought Pieces should be short (no more than 3000 words or 4 minutes). Contact: Scott Shamp (sshamp@uga.edu)
Papers offer a more traditional opportunity for presentation of ideas, positions, and research. Papers will be reviewed for possible publication in the conference proceedings of iDMAa Journal. Send abstracts (250 to 500 words) to Jeff Ritchie (ritchie@lvc.edu)

- Settings (mobile, outdoor media, virtual worlds)
- Learning (pedagogy, methods, topics)
- Entertainment (video, animation, games)
- Creativity (art, design, music)
