-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Reminder: CFP for IEEE TALE conference (Deadline: May 30, 2012) Date: Sun, 20 May 2012 22:00:00 -0400 From: conference-services@ieee.org Reply-To: do-not-reply@ieee.org To: gustaf.neumann@wu-wien.ac.at
As IEEE Education Society Vice President for Conferences, I am pleased to remind you that the Society has a new education conference to be held each year in IEEE Region 10 (Asia and Oceania). The deadline for submissions is May 30, 2012.
The first conference will be held in late August in Hong Kong. The IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE) is designed to complement the Society's other very popular Frontiers in Education (FIE, IEEE Regions 1-7) and EDUCON (IEEE Region 8) conferences. Now, regardless of your location in the world, a premier IEEE Education Society conference is at your doorstep. I encourage you to read this call-for-papers and consider submitting your research or practice paper about engineering and computer science education for peer review. I've also attached a PDF version of the call-for-papers for your use in dissemination to colleagues or other email lists. The deadline for papers has been extended to May 30, 2012 leaving at least two more weeks to prepare your submission!
The General Chair of TALE 2012 is Henry Chan from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He has assembled a great team to help him plan the conference and your stay in Hong Kong. On behalf of his entire committee, we extend our warmest welcome to you and we hope you can join us in Hong Kong in August!
Russ Meier Milwaukee School of Engineering IEEE Education Society Vice President for Conferences
Feel free to disseminate this call-for-papers and the attached PDF to your own email lists.
--------------------- CALL-FOR-PAPERS ------------------------------ TALE 2012 IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering 2012 20?23 August 2012, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
Theme: ?Fostering Innovation and Excellence in Engineering Education?
The IEEE International Conference on Teaching, Assessment, and Learning for Engineering (TALE) will be held each year in the Asia-Pacific region (IEEE Region 10) beginning in 2012. It is intended to complement existing conferences sponsored by the IEEE Education Society, most notably Frontiers in Education in North America (IEEE Regions 1?7) and EDUCON in Europe/Middle East/Africa (IEEE Region 8). The aim of TALE 2012 is to provide a forum for academicians and professionals from various educational fields and with cross-disciplinary interests to network, share knowledge and engage in dialogue around the theme of fostering innovation and excellence in engineering education. To this end, both research and practice-oriented papers are invited that encompass all aspects of education in the engineering fields (including computing, computer science, information technology and cognate disciplines). The conference will feature traditional paper presentations, workshops, as well as keynotes by renowned educational experts and authorities.
CONFERENCE TOPICS Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Academic Staff/Faculty Development * Accreditation and Quality Assurance * Assessment and Evaluation * Online/E-Learning and Blended Learning * Capstone Projects * Computer-Based Learning and Courseware Technologies * Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning * Curriculum Design * Distance, Open and Flexible Education * Educational Games and Simulations * Educational Policy, Leadership and Administration * Entrepreneurship Programs * Ethical and Social Justice Issues (e.g., Access, Equity) * Gender and Diversity * Generic Skills (e.g., Communications, Teamwork) * Industry Linkages and Partnerships * Instructional Design * Interdisciplinary Teaching Approaches * Introductory Engineering and Computing Courses * K?12 Initiatives and Partnerships * Laboratory Experiences (On-Campus and Remote) * Learning Analytics * Learning Management Systems * Marketing and Outreach for Engineering Programs * Mobile Learning * Open Educational Resources * Research Training (Undergraduate and Graduate) * Service Learning * Work-Based and Work-Integrated Education
PAPER SUBMISSION, REVIEW AND PUBLICATION Prospective authors are invited to submit papers of four (4) to six (6) A4 pages (including tables, figures and references) in standard IEEE double-column format. Papers will be accepted only by electronic submission through the conference website, from which submission guidelines and a template for papers are available. A blind-review process will be used to evaluate all submitted papers. Each full registration for the conference will cover a maximum of two papers; each student registration will cover a single paper only. All accepted and registered papers that are presented at the conference will be published in the conference proceedings (CD-ROM/USB) and uploaded to the IEEE Xplore database, which is indexed by Scopus. The proceedings will also be submitted for possible indexing to EI Compendex, ISI Thompson Conference Proceedings Citation Index (CPCI) and INSPEC.
Awards will be presented to authors of the best papers presented at the conference. These authors, along with authors of other selected papers, may be invited to submit revised and expanded versions for potential publication in the IEEE Transactions on Education, and/or other refereed international journals. (The content of the expanded paper must be substantially different to that of the version submitted to the conference, and publication is subject to peer-review acceptance in accordance with the relevant journal's editorial policies and guidelines.)
IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline extended to: 15 May 2012 Notification of review outcomes: 7 June 2012 Final paper submission: 30 June 2012 Registration deadline: 30 June 2012 Conference dates: 20?23 August 2012
