The aim of the conference was to share the results of the project, which started in 2004, with policy makers, academia, teachers and other interested stakeholders. 67 participants from 17 countries including 11 policy makers attended. eMapps.com is demonstrating how game activities based on mobile technologies provide new and enriching experiences for children in the school curriculum and beyond. The work concentrates on Europe’s New Member States and school children in the age group 9-12. Project findings show that new ways of learning integrating mobile devices and games in formal education are worthwhile and lead to learning. Contributions to the conference came from university experts, policy makers and project partners. They looked at what we currently know about games in education from a research point of view, how game based learning is used as a driver for education in Slovakia and the impact of emapps.com on learning and policy making. Furthermore, the emapps.com platform was presented and two schools from Hungary and the Czech Republic illustrated their games.
