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 eLearning
environments and the adoption of emergent technologies in a learning process.
New kind of learners requires 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
eLearning 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.
