These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the 22nd European Conference on e-Learning (ECEL 2023), hosted by University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa on 26-27 October 2023. The Conference Co-Chairs Associate Professor Sarah Jane Johnston and Associate Professor Shawren Singh both from University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa. ECEL is now a well-established event on the academic research calendar and now in its 22nd year the key aim remains the opportunity for participants to share ideas and meet the people who hold them. The scope of papers will ensure an interesting two days. The subjects covered illustrate the wide range of topics that fall into this important and ever-growing area of research. It is especially relevant that the conference is being hosted by UNISA this year as the university celebrates its 150th anniversary. UNISA has been a pioneer in first distance and now e-Learning. The conference will also host the final round of the 9th e-Learning Excellence Awards where innovate case histories will be presented. The opening keynote presentation is given by Professor Thenjiwe Meyiwa, Vice Principal for the Research, Postgraduate Studies, Innovation and Commercialisation at University of South Africa who will speak on, “The Role of African Feminisms in Shaping a Sustainable Future of Being and Learning”. An afternoon keynote on Thursday will be made by Dr Zolile Martin Mguda, University of South Africa on the topic of “ChatGPT: The first year”. The second day of the conference will open with an address by Dr Isabel Tarling, MD, Limina, South Africa with the title “Developing Digital Standards for Learning and Teaching in South Africa’s Schools”. With an initial submission of 100 abstracts, after the double blind, peer review process there are 45 Academic research papers, 3 PhD research papers and 1 Masters Research paper published in these Conference Proceedings. These papers represent research from Belgium, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Hong Kong, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Mozambique, Norway, Oman, Perú, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

These proceedings represent the work of contributors to the 19th European Conference on e-Learning (ECEL 2020), hosted by ACI and the University of Applied Sciences HTW Berlin (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft) Berlin, Germany on 28 - 30 October 2020. We, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Carsten Busch and Prof. Dr. Tilo Wendler, have the honour to act as the Conference Chairs. Martin Steinicke is the Programme Chair. ECEL is now a well-established event on the academic research calendar and now in its 19th year the key aim remains the opportunity for participants to share ideas and meet the people who hold them. We would have loved to welcome you, but due to the global Covid-19 pandemic the conference was moved online to be held as a virtual event. . All three of us have a long-standing interest in e-learning and the digitisation of learning scenarios with a focus on game- and "Mixed Reality"-based learning. The pandemic has shown us how much Germany can learn from other countries in implementing innovative ways and formats of learning on- and offline. But on the bright side, this sometimes distressing view of the German educational system in times of stress also set things in motion that will bring new opportunities but also challenges. All of these need to be faced on solid scientific ground thus making the sharing of ideas and results all the more important. The subjects covered and the scope of papers in this year's ECEL illustrate the wide range of topics that fall into this important and ever-growing area of research and will ensure an interesting two days - to which we look forward. The opening keynote presentation is given by Professor Alf Inge Wang, from Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway, on the topic of Does Game-based Learning Really Work? The second day of the conference will include an address by Prof Mandla Makhanya, University of South Africa, Pretoria, South Africa, entitled This is the Time for Universities to make Blended Learning a Strategic Dimension for their Future. With an initial submission of 156 abstracts, after the double blind, peer review process there are 68 Academic research papers, 5 PhD research papers, 1 Masters Research paper and 7 work-in-progress papers published in these Conference Proceedings. These papers represent research from Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Bhutan, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Morocco, Norway, Oman, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, Netherlands, UK, United Arab Emirates, USA and Vietnam.

This book reflects the various dimensions of play. It gathers together experience with role-play, tabletop, and online games and develops and assesses tools. It also reflects the human condition in this world of games as it becomes a digital world. We are living in a World of Games where every game is a world through which we learn about the world. A World of Games is fun and engaging, but it also provides deceptive pleasures. What may seem like fun is far from harmless. And then there are the many ways of learning in the mode of play.

This book presents the proceedings of the International Science and Technology Conference “FarEastCon 2021,” which took place on October 5–8, 2021, in Vladivostok, Russian Federation.
