Our CFP for this year is focused on self-organized online workshops,
symposia, networking opportunities, social, and gaming events tailored to
an online format. We welcome your proposals for creating an inclusive,
learner-centered, community-driven event that will break new ground in what
is possible for online events and community-building. Our hope is that this
event will strengthen the community and create a space for sharing of ideas
that are relevant and timely today and for the future. Given the
experimental nature of this year’s event, we welcome any and all creative
ideas that meet the goals of sharing ideas and promoting connections within
the CLS community.

Sessions, presentations, and papers originally accepted for CLS2020 will be
invited to present for CLS2021 if they can be adapted to an online format.
Authors of accepted papers will be getting an email from organizers with
more details.

We will be accepting proposals for:

- Workshops

- Symposia

- Experimental and Social Sessions

About the Connected Learning Summit

CLS was first convened in 2018 with the mission 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 event is
co-hosted by UC Irvine’s Connected Learning Lab, MIT’s Scheller Teacher
Education Program and Education Arcade, and the Learning Games Network and
supported by a wide network of academic, industry, nonprofit, and
philanthropic partners.
