IADIS International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA 2005 ) 14-16 December 2005 - Porto, PORTUGAL (http://www.iadis.org/celda2005)
Endorsed by: IEEE Technical Committee on Learning Technology and Japanese Society of Information and Systems in Education
* Keynote Speaker (confirmed): Professor Stefano A. Cerri, LIRMM, CNRS & Un. Montpellier II, France
* Tutorial Expert (confirmed): Professor J. Michael Spector, Florida State University, USA
* Conference background and goals
The IADIS CELDA 2005 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-cantered 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.
* Format of the Conference The conference will comprise of invited talks, oral presentations for discussion-oriented papers, and poster sessions for work-in-progress. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book and CD-ROM.
Authors of the best published papers in the CELDA 2005 proceedings will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in the Computers in Human Behavior Journal (Guest edited by Kinshuk, Demetrios G Sampson and J. Michael Spector).
* Types of submissions Full and Short Papers, Posters and Tutorials. All submissions will go through a double- blind refereeing process with at least two international experts.
* 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
