Third European Conference on
Technology Enhanced Learning
Times of Convergence: Technologies across learning contexts
Maastricht, The Netherlands
September 17-19 2008
http://www.ectel08.org
Technologies
have spread across a variety of learning contexts. They are used in
formal (primary, secondary and higher) education, corporate training
and lifelong learning. Large corporations are creating campuses, which
reveals their convergence with universities. Technologies are used in
general curricula as well as in vocational training. The spread of
mobile devices, social learning techniques and personalization
technologies is closing the gap between formal and informal learning.
Recent developments promote the integration of individual learning,
small group collaboration as well as class-wide or community activities
within a coherent pedagogical scenario. These scenarios combine
activities that intensively rely on computers with activities that
marginally use technologies. Such activities occur in the classrooms
and in the training centres but also across multiple other spaces:
offices, homes, cars, field trips, ski lifts, … Most modern learning
environments do not fit any more within one pedagogical stream: they
integrate heterogeneous software components such as a simulation tool,
an hypertext, an argumentation tool and a tutorial. Old barriers
between different visions of learning technologies are fading out. A
similar convergence is happening between research on knowledge
management and technology enhanced learning.Technology Enhanced Learning

In this age of pedagogical and technological convergence, the two European Networks of Excellence are also converging. After the two successful EC-TEL conferences organized in 2006 and 2007 by the ProLearn network, we invite all researchers across the different fields of TEL (education, psychology, computer science,…) to contribute to the scientific landscape of technology enhanced learning. Contributions may address the design of innovative environments, computational models and architectures, results of empirical studies on socio-cognitive processes, field studies regarding the use of technologies in context, etc, All submissions will be reviewed for relevance, originality, significance, soundness and clarity by three reviewers. Proceedings will be published.

Project meetings
Perpetuating its tradition, the conference provides the opportunity to set up project meetings. These meetings can be scheduled on Sept, 16th and 17th . They may overlap with workshops. We will do our best to offer meetings rooms at the lowest rates.
