This is a very interesting IEEE conference to be held in Finland Aug 30- Sept 1, 2004. In particular it has a workshop on Technology for Education in developing Countries. I don't think I can go, but I would like to work on a case-tudies paper with someone in the dotRLN community who would be able to be there.
Theme: Crafting Learning Within Context
For many years now, researchers and practitioners have advocated views of learning as happening within various forms of contexts such as those embodying problem-based, scenario-based, cognitive, meta-cognitive, social, linguistic, cultural, artefact, and authentic task elements. The conference theme focuses on the crafting of such learning experiences enabled or mediated by technology that enacts authentic contexts for the learning and doing to take place. We especially welcome papers that study the contextualization and the concretization of learning.
We invite submissions of for-peer-reviewed papers of original academic or industrial research on Advanced Learning Technologies that contribute to the future research agenda of Technology-Enhanced Learning.
All accepted Full and Short Papers and Poster Extended Summaries, will appear in a single volume to be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions for a Special Issue of the Journal of Educational Technology & Society (ISSN 1436-4522).
