DESCRIPTION
This is the presentation for my keynote at Virtual World Best Practise in Education, Friday, 26 July 2013. At this occasion I was able to announce for the first time that we received EU funding. A mere 7% of all of the proposals were approved. CAMELOT stands for 'CreAting Machinima Empowers Live Online language Teaching and learning', due to start in December 2013. Over a period of 2 years 9 project partners will develop machinimas for language learners and develop a teacher training course on how to create machinima.
