-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: [AISWorld] CFP -Strategically Influencing On-line Education: Power, Politics, and Social Dynamics Datum: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 12:25:22 -0400 Von: Celia Livermore <ak1667(a)wayne.edu> An: IS world <AISWorld(a)lists.aisnet.org> *International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies (IJWLTT)* /Official Publication of the Information Resources Management Association/ *www.igi-global.com/ijwltt* <http://www.igi-global.com/ijwltt>** ** *SPECIAL ISSUE on Strategically Influencing On-line Education: Power, Politics, and Social Dynamics* ** *Submission Due Date: September 15, 2011 **(Expression of Interest requested by July 31, 2011)*** ** *Special Issue Editors:* /Mahesh S. Raisinghani, TWU School of Management, Executive MBA Program, USA/ /Celia Romm Livermore, School of Business Administration, Wayne State University, USA / *Introduction* The power and politics (or social dynamics) of the on-line classroom, the politics of getting a large organization, like a university, to adopt educational technologies to promote specific political agendas in classrooms (e.g., the utilization of the Web during the Obama campaign to promote support for the presidential candidate Obama among school children), the use of on-line technologies for ideological indoctrination or "influencing" in the educational systems of extremist groups of all religions and issues of power and politics that are related to the on-line education of special needs minorities such as people who are physically/intellectually challenged, people of color, women, migrants, and so forth. The changing dimensions of ?technology? and ?learning? have significant impact globally. The recent success of China and India in moving into the production of high value-added, high-technology products has caused political leaders and their advisors to re-evaluate the global economic challenge. The OECD recently acknowledged that emerging economies including China and India were moving up the value chain to compete with Western organizations for high-tech products and R&D investment.There has been major growth in all OECD countries for expansion into higher education. Canada was the first country to achieve the target of over 50 percent of people aged 25 and 34 to enter the job market with a tertiary level qualification, followed by Korea, which has engineered a massive growth in tertiary provision since 1991. While much of the international business and policy literature has focused on education, globalization, the use of innovation and creative enterprise; it has ignored the shift towards global standardization or alignment within companies, where technology is the key enabler and facilitator. *Objective* Technology, learning, education and supporting globalization through innovation and creativity leading to a globalized knowledge economy are the main emphasis of this Special Issue of the *International Journal of Web-Based Learning and Teaching Technologies (IJWLTT). *More specifically, the issue focuses on the impact of globalization on education and business, the changing dimensions of the WBLT technologies and uses, sharing educational experiences and situations including (but not limited to) distance learning, collaborative work, constructivist approaches in on-line, traditional and hybrid class-rooms, designing blended learning and programs, importance of dialogue in distance education programs, CSCL, network learning, etc. while focusing on the world economies with respect to these worldwide changing perspectives and the creation of a globalized knowledge economy. *Recommended Topics:* Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not limited to) the following: ·Power And Politics In Online/E-Education ·Politics Of Implementation Of E-Learning Initiatives From The Administration?s Perspective ·Politics Of Adoption & Implementation Of E-Learning Initiatives >From The Individual/Department?s Perspective ·Politics Of Implementation Of E-Learning Initiatives From The Student?s Perspective ·Impact Of Globalization On Education And Business ·Globalization And Technology: Changing Paradigm ·Macro Issues In Globalization, E-Education And E-Learning ·Creation Of Globalized Knowledge Economies ·Cross Cultural Analyses Of Globalization, Education And International Business Perspectives ·International Perspectives On Technology And Education ·Macro Issues In Global Businesses, E-Education And Communities ·Technology Enablement Of Global Businesses, Higher Education And International Business ·Best Practices In International Learning, Education And Technology ·Building Multi-Disciplinary Teams For Web-Based Learning And Teaching ·Building Web-Based Learning Communities ·Constructivist Approaches To Web-Based Learning And Teaching ·Decision Making In Implementing Web-Based Learning And Teaching ·Knowledge Building Using Web-Based Learning And Teaching Technologies ·Management Side Of Web-Based Learning And Teaching ·Network Learning Using WLTT ·Project Management For Implementing WLTT ·Related Issues That Impact The Overall Utilization And Management Of Web-Based Technologies In Education ·Web-Based CSCL ·Web-Based Technologies Enabled Pedagogical Scenarios ·Web-Based Technologies Enabled Pedagogical Systems And Programs ·WLTT Implementation: Models, Methods, And Frameworks ·Innovative Education Models Worldwide ·Schools Impacting Globalization And International Business Education ·Education Impacting Local And Global Communities ·Globalization, Education And Learning: Case Studies *Submission* Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit papers for this special theme issue on *Strategically Influencing On-line Education: Power, Politics, and Social Dynamics**/on or before/*//*September 15, 2011*.

-------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Call for Demos: RuleML2011@BRF - 5th International Rule Challenge Date: Sun, 17 Jul 2011 12:03:35 +0200 From: Adrian Paschke <adrian.paschke(a)gmx.de> To: <wi(a)lists.uni-karlsruhe.de> ====================================================================* * RuleML2011@BRF - 5th International Rule Challenge * * Nov 4th * * Westin Diplomat, Ft Lauderdale, Florida * * http://2011.ruleml.org/america/?page_id=126 * ====================================================================* * Call for Demos - Submission Deadline - Sept. 2nd, 2011 * * New categories in the Challenge with prestigious prizes * * Demo papers published as CEUR proceedings * * 15% RuleML2011@BRF Partner discounts - see registration page * * http://2011.ruleml.org/america/ * * http://www.businessrulesforum.com/register.php * ********************************************************************* Overview and Aim ====================================================== The RuleML2011@BRF Challenge is one of the highlights at RuleML2011@BRF Conference.The RuleML2011@BRF Challenge is dedicated to practical experiences with rule-oriented applications. In particular, submissions of benchmarks / evaluations, demos, case studies / use cases, experience reports, best practice solutions (e.g. design patterns, reference architectures, models), rule-based implementations / tools / applications, demonstrations of engineering methods, implementations of rule standards (e.g. RuleML, RIF, SBVR, PRR, rule-based Event Processing languages, BPMN+rules, BPEL+rules, ...), rules + industrial standards (e.g. XBRL, MISMO, Accord, ...), and industrial problem statements are particularly encouraged. Key themes of the RuleML2011@BRF Challenge include the following: * Demos related to the RuleML2011@BRF Track Topics * Extensions and implementations of rule standards: W3C RIF, RuleML, SBVR, ... * Editing environments and IDEs for Web rules * Benchmarks and comparison results for rule engines * Distributed rule bases and rule services * Reports on industrial experience about rule systems A dedicated track of RuleML2011@BRF Challenge will be focused on the theme: **Combining Rules, Objects, and Ontologies: Implementations and Applications** - Loose/tight integrations of rules and knowledge bases - Knowledge Modelling and Reasoning - Real cases and practical experiences Ideally, demos submitted to the Challenge track should tackle knowledge-rich domain problems. The proposed solution should address such problem using a combination of rule-based modelling and semantic knowledge-based modelling. Solutions ranging from loosely coupled hybrid systems (i.e. where different frameworks are put together), to unified homogeneous architectures (i.e. where a unified model / semantics, within a single framework, is proposed) will be of great interest for the special track. Prizes will be awarded to the two best applications from the main focus theme and for the all categories. All accepted demos will be presented in a special Challenge Session. Submission ====================================================== The submission is composed of two parts: - open-source or commercial demo - demo papers describing research, implementation, and technical details of your submission. Submissions to the Rules Challenge 2011 consist of a demo paper of 4-8 pages, describing the demo show case, and a link to the demo/show case, e.g. a project site, an online demonstration, a presentation about the demonstration, or a download site for the demonstration. Demo and papers submission website: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ruleml2011challenge Please upload all demo papers submissions as PDF files in LNCS format (http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). To ensure high quality, submitted papers will be carefully peer-reviewed according to the evaluation criteria indicated below. To better disseminate your work, please also udpate your demo in the systems submission website with a brief abstract presentation: http://2011.ruleml.org/america/?page_id=184 Challenge Evaluation Criteria ====================================================== Submissions to the RuleML2011@BRF Challenge general Track will be evaluated according to the following criteria: - clear exposition of the objectives, outcomes, benefits for going beyond the state of the art in the application domain (25%) - demos should demonstrate a good level of effectiveness to manage complex rules according to statistical/analytical/benchmarking evaluations (25%) - demos have to demonstrate the results with a concrete example balancing conciseness and completeness (25%) - demos should preferably (but not necessarily) be embedded into a web-based or distributed environment (15%) - demos should pay attention to end-user interactions, providing an adequate and usable interface that favors a concrete usage of the application (10%). Submissions focused on this year's special theme (Knowledge-Based Applications combining Rules and Ontologies) should show the potential and benefits of combining rule-based reasoning and taxonomic/frame/description-logic reasoning in a realistic application. Demos submitted to the Special Theme will be evaluated according to the following criteria: - papers should clearly expose the objectives, outcomes, benefits for going beyond the state of the art in the application domain (20%) - demos should demonstrate a good level of integration or interaction between rules and ontologies (40%) - demos should demonstrate their results with a simple but meaningful case study, balancing conciseness and completeness (20%) - demos should preferably be deployed in a web-based or distributed environment where multiple nodes exchange information (10%) - demos should pay attention to end-user interactions, providing an adequate and usable interface that favors a concrete usage of the application (10%). Proceedings ====================================================== Authors are invited to submit original contributions of practical relevance and technical rigor in the field, benchmarks, evaluations, experience reports and show/use case demonstrations of effective, practical, deployable rule-based technologies or applications in web-distributed environments. Papers must be in English. Accepted papers will be published as CEUR Workshop Proceedings. Exhibition Room ====================================================== The RuleML2011@BRF Chairs are currently evaluating the possibility to have an exhibition space where to present the demo live to the participants throughout the Symposium. More information will be released with the notification of acceptance of the demo papers and demo systems. Important Dates ====================================================== Submission deadline for demo papers and demo systems: Sept. 2nd, 2011 Notification of accepted demo papers and demo systems: Sept. 23rd, 2011 Camera ready papers: Sept. 30th, 2011 RuleML2011@BRF Challenge Chairs ====================================================== Stefano Bragaglia, University of Bologna, Italy Marco Montali, KRDB, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy Charles Petrie, Stanford University, USA Mark Proctor, Red Hat, UK

c -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [WI] Deadline Extension: Challenges in Evaluating Educative Experiences of Flexible and Personal Learning Environments (E3FPLE)] Date: Sat, 16 Jul 2011 15:17:57 +0200 (CEST) From: mifav(a)roma2.infn.it To: wi(a)aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Apologize for cross-posting - Deadline Extension ============================================================================ Workshop Title: Challenges in Evaluating Educative Experiences of Flexible and Personal Learning Environments (E3FPLE) in conjunction with ECTEL 2011 ((http://www.ec-tel.eu/) Date: 21st September 2011 Place: Palermo, Italy Website: http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/E3FPLE/index.php Extended Deadline for Paper Submission: 30th July 2011 ============================================================================ GOALS& RESEARCH QUESTIONS E3FPLE aims to offer an interdisciplinary arena to investigate the complexity that will characterize more and more the evaluation of future educative experiences (see lso workshop background). The major challenges are to identify and operationalize relevant qualities of such experiences, and to model and monitor their trajectories. The overarching goal is to inform the development of effective supports to enhance educative experiences of the stakeholders involved. Accordingly the workshops intends to explore the following research questions: · Whether and how the existing evaluation methods from the field of Technology-enhanced Learning (TEL) and Human-computer Interaction (HCI) should be extended to address specific requirements of FPLEs? · Whether and how compartmentalize the respective impact of software quality (i.e. interoperability), interaction quality (i.e. usability and user experience with individual widgets and their orchestration), information quality (i.e. contents delivered by widgets and their integration), and personal quality (i.e. individual goals, value and expertise) on educative experiences? · Which experiential qualities are relevant to successful educative processes in FPLEs? Are hedonic qualities such as identification, stimulation and evocation particularly relevant? Should the learner experience certain negative emotional responses (e.g. challenge, tension, bewildered) or, in contrast,positive ones to achieve a stronger learning effect? · How should the interplay between experiential evaluation feedback and redesign of the learning environments be enhanced? In which ways should the evaluation feedback be collected and presented (qualitative vs. quantitative; level of granularity; monomodal vs. multimodal) to the design and development team to improve the uptake of evaluation results? In the Workshop, these and other questions arising from the workshop submissions and discussions will be addressed. Submissions addressing the above listed and other related questions/ideas are invited. More on the workshop background can be found here: http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/E3FPLE/index.php WORKSHOP CO-CHAIRS: * Effie Lai-Chong Law, University of Leicester, UK (elaw(a)mcs.le.ac.uk) * Carlo Giovannella, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy (mifav(a)roma2.infn.it) PROGRAM COMMITTEE: * Carmelo Ardito, University of Bari, Italy * Nikolas Avouris, University of Patras, Greece * Marcel Berthold, TU Graz, Austria * Antonella Carbonaro, University of Bologna, Italy * Denis Gillet, EPFL, Switzerland * Alke Martens, Universitaet Rostock, Germany * Felix Mödritscher, Vienna University of Economics& Businesses, Austria * Tessy C.
