Hualien, Taiwan, July 6-9, 2015 Website ICALT: http://www.ask4research.info/icalt/2015/ Website Doctoral Consortium: http://ask4research.info/icalt/2015/node/29

*** Extended Deadline: February 6, 2015 ***

Track Program Chairs ********************* Ignacio Aedo, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Guang Chen, Beijing Normal University, China Sabine Graf, Athabasca University, Canada (sabineg@athabascau.ca) [Co-ordinator] Michael J. Spector, University of North Texas, USA Jarkko Suhonen, University of Eastern Finland, Finland Gwo-Jen Hwang, National Taiwan University of Science & Technology, Taiwan Tzu-Chien Liu, National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan

Track Description and Topics of Interest ***************************************** The ICALT2015 Doctoral Consortium aims to support and inspire PhD students during their ongoing research efforts on topics related to Advanced Learning Technologies. The Doctoral Consortium will provide to the PhD students the opportunity to present, discuss, and receive feedback on their research in the context of a well-known and established interdisciplinary and international conference outside of their usual university environment. Prominent professors and researchers in the field of Advanced Learning Technologies will reflect to the selected papers and get engaged in a scientific dialogue with the PhD students.

The Doctoral Consortium will consist of 3 sessions. The first session aims at giving students the chance to present their work to others and get familiar with the work of other PhD students in their area. Each PhD student will give a very brief presentation (about 3 minutes) about his/her work with focus on motivation and research problem. These presentations are followed by a poster exhibition where individual discussion about each student's work will take place. The third session aims at giving students feedback from an expert in their area and let them discuss their work with him/her as well as with few other PhD students doing research in the respective area.

After the notification of acceptance/rejection, each PhD student with an accepted paper will be assigned to a small group consisting of a few PhD students and one expert in their area. Each group will start to communicate and exchange their papers so that all members of the group are familiar with the papers of each group member. During the third session, each small group will meet individually to further discuss where each student can discuss his/her work with the expert and with other PhD students.

The 3-page submission of DC Consortium papers should: . Provide the title of the PhD Research, the name of the PhD Student and the PhD Advisor and the Affiliated Organisation . Provide a motivation for the research, explaining what the problem in the respective field is and why it is a problem, . Clearly formulate the research question, . Sketch the research methodology that is to be applied, . Describe the expected contributions of the applicant to the research area, and describes how the research is innovative, novel or extends existing approaches to a problem. . Appropriately acknowledge the possible contribution of non-student advisors or collaborators

Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, correctness, and clarity.

Up to 5 Ph.D. students per track will have the opportunity to participate. Students will be required to pay the registration fees of the ICALT Conference (at student rates).

Topics of Interest ******************* . Digital Systems for Open Access to Education and Learning . Adaptive and Personalised Technology-Enhanced Learning . Wireless, Mobile and Ubiquitous Technologies for Learning . Digital Game and Intelligent Toy Enhanced Learning . Computer Supported Collaborative Learning .
