2nd International Workshop on Interactive Environments and Emergent Technologies for
eLearning (IEETeL 2011)
http://sites.google.com/site/ieet4el/call-for-papers
held in conjunction with the
International Conference on Digital Information and Communication Technology and its
Applications (DICTAP2011)
http://www.sdiwc.net/fr/

France, Dijon
21-23 June, 2011

Rationale
==========

The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers, educators
and technology experts to share and discuss the new solutions, trends and
realizations of e-Learning environments and the adoption of emergent
technologies in a learning process.

New kind of learners require suitable environments ensuring flexible,
personalized, adaptable, in-demand learning. The dynamic, interactive and social
aspects of Web 2.0 have great potential to support innovative teaching and meaningful
learning. Semantic web enables computers and people to work in cooperation, 3D virtual
worlds support new online experiences of research and learning, augmented reality helps deeper understanding of subject matter, mobile technologies play a role in increasing
individual support and opportunities for personal development.

This forum invites research, technical papers, and work in progress
investigating e-Learning environments process development and practices of their
implementation in education to support university students as well as to prepare them to become self-organized and life-long learners.
These include the technological aspect of environments building: “from
scratch”, using open source software or mashup applications from a cloud as well as pedagogical strategies and solutions for utilizing such environments.
