ICCE Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, Open Contents, & Standards

C3: ICCE Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, Open Contents, & Standards

27-31, October, 2008

Taipei, Taiwan

Organized by the Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education Hosted by the National Science and Technology Program of eLearning, Taiwan http://www.apsce.net/icce2008/

In response to the emerging research diversity, ICCE2008 will be a meta- conference – a conference of collocated multiple theme-based conferences. This is the Call for Papers for the theme-based conference, C3: ICCE Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, Open Contents, & Standards.

The impact of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in education is growing widely and rapidly. To accelerate this growth, it is important to realize that there will always be more than just one approach. From a general perspective, two complementary approaches exist. One is top-down, in which technology is identified and implemented from the educational needs for effectiveness and quality; the other is bottom-up, in which emerging technology is utilized in design and implementation of novel learning methodology. For sound and sustainable growth of ICT-based education, it is also important to pay attention not only to educational technology itself, but also to technology infrastructures, pedagogies and organizational aspects. From these view points, this theme-based conference of ICCE will try to provide an opportunity to present and exchange ideas and results about the cutting edge research on ICT application in education. This conference emphasizes upon Open Contents & Standards, both of which are important driving forces of ICT-education, besides all the aspects of Advanced Learning Technologies,

The scope of the conference will cover but not be limited to:

• Open platforms, content and open educational resources (OERs)
• International Alliance for Open Source, Open Standards, and federated repositories
• Technology standards for content, portfolio, learner information
• New Generations of educational technologies
• Web 2.0 and social computing for learning
• Personalized educational systems
• e-Pedagogy and Instructional Design
• Learning Systems Platforms and Architectures
• Advanced Applications
• e-Learning and Knowledge Management
• Organizational Management of e-Learning in Universities
• e-Testing and new test theories
• Data mining, text mining, and web mining in education
