AIMS AND SCOPE
The 5th international conference »eLearning Baltics« (eLBa) 2012 will again bring together
researchers, practitioners and scientists, people using eLearning products and services
as well as people producing them.
eLBa 2012 will cover different aspects of learning and teaching with digital media in various
settings such as classroom, university, workplace, home or mobile environments.
This includes formal as well as informal methods and technologies in different branches
like research, construction, manufacturing and on different levels like the office or
shop-floor-level in manufacturing.
It will address diverse topics and perspectives, technologies and theories, implementations
and evaluations of eLearning from the fields of computer science, pedagogy, psychology
and design. Accordingly, we invite experts from all these fields to contribute to eLBa 2012.
Like the previous eLBa conferences, eLBa 2012 consists of three parts:
- eLBa Science -- an international scientific conference,
- eLBa Business -- a business congress and user forum,
- eLBa Exhibition -- an accompanying exhibition for eLearning products and services.
Contributions to eLBa Science 2012 must be submitted as extended abstracts in English language.
Accepted submissions will have to be presented by at least one author at eLBa 2012 in Rostock
and will be published in the conference proceedings. Selected papers will be published
additionally in the Springer Journal "Transaction on Edutainment".
Accepted submissions require registration and payment until April 15, 2012 in order to be
published in the conference proceedings. The respective invoice will be sent along with
acceptance notifications (179 EUR plus VAT).
The eLBa Science - international scientific eLearning conference - is supported by
»Gesellschaft für Informatik« (GI), the German network of professionals teaching,
researching or working in computer science, and by the German Chapter of ACM.
