DULP & SPeL @ ICALT 2012: Exploring Emerging Technologies and the Future of
Technology Enhanced Learning

3rd Workshop on Design Centered and Personalized Learning in Liquid and
Ubiquitous Learning Places & 5th International Workshop on Social and
Personalized Computing for Web Supported Learning Communities
http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/dulpspel/index.php

in conjunction with ICALT 2012
The 12th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies
http://www.scuolaiad.it/ICALT2012/

Rome, Italy
4-6 July 2012

=======================================================================


Background
==========
The proposed workshop is the result of merging the experience and background
of two workshops centered on ubiquitous personalization and future visions
in TEL: DULP and SPeL. Both workshops have as core topic the personalization
of learning experiences as well as the future development of personalized
learning environments. DULP stands for D -> Design Inspired Learning; U ->
Ubiquitous Learning; L -> Liquid Learning Places; P -> Person in Place
Centered Design, thus summarizing and bringing together a number of current
trends and researchers. DULP started as a national effort in Rome, Italy, in
2009; after the first steps, an international community has been built, and
a series of workshops started at ICALT 2010 and continued at ICALT 2011. The
SPeL workshop has as general topic the social and personal computing for
web-supported learning communities, leading towards the creation of a truly
social and adaptive learning environment. The workshop has been held during
the last 4 years in conjunction with the SAINT 2008, WI/IAT 2009, DEXA 2010
and ICWL 2011 conferences respectively.
