CALL FOR PAPERS
Workshop on "Cross-Media and Personalized Learning Applications on top of Digital Libraries" (LADL 2007)
20 September 2007, Budapest, Hungary
( in conj. with the 11th European Conference in Research and Advanced Technology for Digital Libraries (ECDL 2007), 16-21 September, Budapest, Hungary )
Submission deadline: June 11, 2007
Workshop URL: http://ladl2007.cc.bas.bg
SCOPE:
One of the most important applications of Digital Libraries (DL) is learning. The tremendous proliferation of the Internet and the wealth of content that exists in Digital Libraries worldwide call for flexible solutions where content is not strictly bound with a particular learning plan but could be retrieved at run-time and ideally from many places and with different devices (corresponding to a variety of delivery channels) according to the learner needs and capabilities. In order for e-learning applications to exploit digital library contents some important issues should be addressed: the problem of interoperability between digital libraries and eLearning applications is an important one. Other important issues relate to personalization, to the cross media delivery and to the effective authoring of learning materials to be used in such a context. The traditional approaches follow an "one size fits all" tactic where courseware is statically (not on-demand) constructed for a large number of users, not taking into account individual needs of the learners or class of learners (e.g. learning style, educational level, previous knowledge).
The objective of the workshop is to discuss roles and functions of digital libraries as content providers within e-learning applications and services as well as the development of eLearning systems and application for cross-media delivery of learning experiences. Central questions here are, among others, the possible and context adapted use or reuse of digital library materials; the relevant production, management and publishing technologies for doing this; pragmatically relevant description and indexing of digital library material; the integration of e-learning standards in the description of material of a digital library; the definition and use of elearning publishing standards; the definition of appropriate organizational and workflow models taking into account the new, "virtual" cooperation between the traditionally separated activities of librarians and teachers.
TOPICS: Relevant topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: - eLearning systems and applications on top of digital libraries - Models for effective reuse of learning objects and digital library objects for e-learning solutions - Interoperability between digital libraries and eLearning applications - Ontologies and semantic approaches to eLearning - Personalization of learning, learner modeling, adaptive sequencing of learning objects and adaptive instructional planning - Access-on-Demand to digital libraries for ubiquitous learning - Domain specific eLearning applications on top of digital libraries - Practical solutions for the use of digital libraries for e-learning purposes. - Systems, platforms and learning scenarios for cross-media learning - New standards and abstract architectural models for integrated web, interactive TV and mobile applications - Adaptation of existing metadata models for cross-media delivery of learning materials - Authoring of learning materials for cross media-delivery - Assessment and validation of cross-media delivery approaches for learning materials
PAPER SUBMISSIONS: Researchers are invited to submit papers (up to 10 pages including figures and references, shorter submission are welcome as well) reporting on original work in the above and related topics. Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format by sending them as email attachments to mailto:ladl2007@ced.tuc.gr by June 11, 2007. Submissions must follow the guidelines for the LNCS format provided by Springer. All submissions will be reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, significance, soundness, and clarity.
PATICIPATION AND FEES: At least one author of each accepted submission must attend the workshop and all workshop participants must pay the workshop registration fee, as well as the ECDL 2007( http://www.ecdl2007.org/ ) conference fee.
