Call for Papers:

EC-TEL 2013: Eighth European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
"Scaling Up Learning for Sustained Impact"

17-21 September 2013, Paphos, Cyprus

http://ec-tel.eu/
========================================================================

The European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (EC-TEL) is a unique
opportunity for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers to address
current challenges and advances in the field. Through EC-TEL, established and
emerging researchers as well as practitioners, entrepreneurs, and technology
developers explore new collaborations, strengthen networks, and complement
their core experience.

While Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) has created enormous changes in
schools, universities and at the workplaces, innovations have tended to be
unsustainable. Too often, initiatives need a high degree of effort to be
sustained, and are consequently endangered when funding stops. Many initiatives
now focus on scaling up bottom-up initiatives to create higher and more
sustainable impact. These initiatives require an interdisciplinary perspective
in TEL research and development, drawing on core disciplines of Computer
Science, Education, Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Social Science. This
blend of research traditions has always been a strength of EC-TEL and its
vibrant community.

We invite contributions for demonstrations, workshops and project meetings, as
well as original research papers. A doctoral consortium will also be organized
concurrently with the workshops. See the website for more details:
http://ec-tel.eu/ 

Note: the European Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (eCSCW) conference will
be hosted from 21-25 September at the same location as EC-TEL 2013. So there is
a good opportunity to visit both conferences at the same time.

* Full Papers: max. 14 pages, published in proceedings
* Short Papers: max. 6 pages, published in proceeding
* Demonstration Papers: max. 4 pages, published in proceedings
* Poster Papers: max. 4 pages, 2 page summary published in proceedings
* Workshop Proposals: max. 4 pages, not published in proceedings 

DEMONSTRATIONS

Please submit a concise, max. 4 pages description of a (running!) prototype,
clearly showing how your technological innovation realises a learning
innovation. All accepted demonstrations will be invited to participate in the
EC-TEL 2013 Demo SLAM session. The audience will vote for the best EC-TEL
prototype in this session and the winner will be awarded. We encourage
demonstration submissions that complement an EC-TEL research paper submission.

POSTERS

Posters report on significant work in progress. We are planning an interactive
poster and demonstration session in which you can present your work and elicit
feedback from EC-TEL participants.

WORKSHOPS

EC-TEL 2013 offers the opportunity to host several workshops. Parties
interested to organize a workshop are asked to submit a proposal of maximum 4
pages long outlining the theme of the workshop, workshop format, expected
participants and domains addressed, dissemination activities, workshop
organizing committee, and organizational requirements. Proposals should be
submitted via the EasyChair system of EC-TEL. We are exploring possibilities
for arranging publication of all workshop papers in a post-conference
proceedings volume to be published by Springer. Workshop organizers should
indicate in their proposals whether they would like to contribute to such a
post-conference proceedings volume, or whether they are targeting other
high-quality publication outlets such as international peer-reviewed journals.

PROJECT MEETINGS

In addition to the regular sessions and workshops, EC-TEL offers a unique
opportunity for European Projects in TEL to hold face-to-face meetings. Please
contact the local organization chair at your earliest convenience to book
meeting rooms.

DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM

In contrast to regular conference papers, doctoral consortium submissions
should address specifically PhD student work. All submissions will be reviewed
after acceptance by at least two senior researchers and one of the accepted
doctoral candidates. Additionally, two discussants, members of the doctoral
consortium committee, will be appointed to each paper. Discussant comments will
be followed by a plenary discussion of the paper.
