Call for Papers

The IADIS CELDA 2004 conference aims to address the main issues concerning with the evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in digital age. There have been huge advancements in both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines has never been faster before and this marriage has affected the very basis of the academia. Paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivist approaches, student-centered learning and collaborative approaches have emerged, and are being supported by technological advancements such as simulations, virtual reality and multi-agents systems to name a few. This merger has created both opportunities and areas of serious concerns. This conference aims to cover both technological as well as pedagogical issues related to these developments. Main tracks have been identified (see below). However innovative contributions that do not fit into these areas will also be considered as long as they are directly related to the overall theme of the conference. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following areas:

 

- Acquisition of expertise

- Assessing progress of learning in complex domains

- Assessment of exploratory learning approaches

- Assessment of exploratory technologies

- Cognition in education

- Collaborative learning

- Educational psychology

- Exploratory technologies (such as simulations, VR, i-TV and so on)

- Just-in-time and Learning-on-Demand

- Learner Communities and Peer-Support

- Learning Communities & Web Service Technologies

- Pedagogical Issues Related with Learning Objects

- Learning Paradigms in Academia

- Learning Paradigms in Corporate Sector

- Life-long Learning

- Student-Centered Learning

- Technology and mental models

- Technology, learning and expertise

- Virtual University

 

The Conference will be composed of several types of contributions:

  • Full Papers – These include mainly accomplished research results and have 8 pages at the maximum (5,000 words).

  • Short Papers – These include fresh concepts, preliminary research results but may also contain work-in-progress reports. These have 4 pages at maximum (2,500 words).

  • Posters / Demonstrations – These contain implementation information or work-in-progress and have two pages at maximum (1250 words).

  • Tutorials – Tutorials can be proposed by scholars or company representatives. A proposal of maximum 250 words is expected.

All submissions will go through a double-blind refereeing process with at least two international experts.

The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book with ISBN and CD-ROM. Authors of selected papers will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in the Innovations in Education and Teaching International Journal.
