Call for Papers: Invited Session on
Promoting Smart User-Centred Approaches in Innovative Teaching & Learning Session Organiser & Chair: Dr Claude Ghaoui, UK
As part of the 7th International Conference on Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information & Engineering Systems 3, 4 & 5 September 2003, St Anne's College, University of Oxford, UK
Topic and Aim of the Session Successful use of ICT in education depends on smart usable designs that do not require expensive training, accommodate the needs of diverse users and are low cost. Thus, there is an increasing pressure for adopting innovative approaches to the design and delivery of education. This is partly due to the increasing number of learners and the limited resources available to meet such diversity in user needs, background, expectations, skills, ages, abilities and cultural differences.
The advances in ICT have made it possible to reach out to a wider audience around the globe. However, this is not always satisfactory. Introducing successful innovation in T&L requires care in employing smart user-centred approaches that are derived from HCI research & principles; this issue remains a big challenge. Motivated by this challenge, the session aims to emphasize the need to take a multi-disciplinary view on this issue, by marrying solutions from HCI, AI, interactive multimedia technology and the WWW to benefit innovative T&L.
Research papers, which address any questions/problems on this topic/challenge, are welcome. Both theoretical papers and papers describing practical experiences are welcome. Authors are strongly encouraged to provide in-depth conclusions of their insights on weaknesses, strengths and lessons learnt of issues they introduce.
Instructions for Authors A brief intention must be sent by email to the Session Chair, including author's details, title and a brief abstract. Only electronic copies of the full paper in Microsoft Word or PDF forms are acceptable for review purposes and must be sent by email to the Session Chair directly. However, you will be required to send camera-ready hard copy of the final version of your paper; electronic submission of final papers is not allowed. The full papers will be blind-reviewed by at least two expert referees. Please note the deadlines below are strict.
Authors must comply with the required paper format/style and maximum length, which will be available on the Web Site (http://www.brighton.ac.uk/kes/kes2003/).
All papers must be presented by at least one of the authors, who must register with payment for their papers to appear in the proceedings (see the Conference Site).
Publication The Conference Proceedings will be published by a major publisher. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in the KES Journal (International Journal of Knowledge-Based Intelligent Engineering Systems, http://www.brighton.ac.uk/kes/journal/)
Important Dates A brief intention to the Session Chair: by February 5, 2003 The full paper to the Session Chair: by February 28, 2003 Notification of acceptance: by March 17, 2003 Camera-ready hard copy of final paper to the Session Chair: by April 14, 2003 (Notes from the Conference Office: The Session Chair must send final camera-ready papers to reach the KES Secretariat by 1 May 2003 or they will not appear in the proceedings. Papers that do not strictly comply with the formatting style required will not be published in the proceedings).
