Mobile Serious Games may enable students to actively explore and make sense of their learning environment by practicing artistic and rhythm-based dexterities in conjunction to more technical and scientific skills. This amalgamation of rhythm and motion with scientific skills may refine the way students apply learning by using different modalities within a learning context and, moreover, promote integration of learners with special educational needs. Fostering sensory integration and regulation as a source of in-game approaches for enhancing bodily synchrony and praxis and the ability to plan actions and engage meaningfully with the world is a process that may be achieved through active game-play, autonomous and personalised in-game feedback that encourage rhythm-based learning using multimodal in-game mechanics. This special session aims to explore the use of mobile serious games that aim to refine and rethink how learning, teaching, engagement and inclusion of leaners with special educational needs may be improved through motion, rhythm, artistic endeavours and science. Multiple ways of designing in-game feedback (i.e. stealth assessment) for personalisation and autonomous deep learning is a key research theme of this special session. Authors are invited to submit their research contributions or practical experience reports. All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least two referees. The special session provides an opportunity to experience state-of-the-art research and development in a plethora of game-based topics that render both technical game aspects or more empirical research papers related to own work that present innovations in the field of mobile serious games research for learning, teaching and training.
