CSEDU is a conference sponsored by INSTICC in cooperation with ACM SIGITE and IICREST. The CSEDU program will include a number of Keynote Lectures to be delivered by distinguished world-class researchers. Their names are now available at the conference Website (http://www.csedu.org/keynote_speakers.asp).

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and CD-ROM support.

Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information (http://www.csedu.org/best_paper_awards.asp).

Papers presented at the conference venue will be also available at the SciTePress Digital Library (http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary/). Proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index, INSPEC, DBLP and EI.

Please check further details at the CSEDU 2011 conference website (http://www.csedu.org). There you will find detailed information about the conference structure and its main topic areas. This conference is co-located with WEBIST 2011 (7th International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies - http://www.webist.org) and with CLOSER 2011 (1st International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science - http://closer.scitevents.org). Registration to CSEDU will enable free attendance to any sessions of all co-located events.

Special Session on Collaborative e-Learning Systems - CeLS 2011

The Special Session on Collaborative e-Learning Systems (CeLS) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in innovative pedagogical strategies adapted to group-based e-learning. e-learning has become an important business process for corporations, as well as for universities. Despite all the recent activity, models for how people teach and learn online are still immature. Often e-learning systems fail due to the lack of attention and the lack of commitment of the users to maximize the results of the learning process through the software system. Learning Communities have become a recognized paradigm for solving this problem but some attributes are still overlooked. In particular it is important to realize that in a community there is a measure of commitment to a set of shared values, norms, and meanings and a shared history and identification within a particular culture. Yet, personalization is required in each individual learning process. CeLS encourages authors to submit papers describing original work based on diverse perspectives related to collaborative e-Learning, including methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.

Special Session on Assessment Tools and Techniques for e-Learning - ATTeL 2011

The Special Session on Assessment Tools and Techniques for e-Learning (ATTeL) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working on assessment tools and techniques for e-learning and/or within the context of an LMS. Authors are welcome to submit papers discussing research issues, development problems or use cases of tools including, but not limited to, concept maps, concept tests, knowledge surveys, online exams, presentations in teleconference format for distributed classrooms, portfolios, and other tools. Technology resources such as classroom response systems, real time analysis of student comprehension, e-Portfolios, course assessment, and other technological aspects are also of interest. The special session will also offer the opportunity to fill the gap between academic researchers, practitioners and industry. ATTeL encourages authors to submit papers describing original work, including methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.

Special Session on Ubiquitous e-Learning - UeL 2011

The Special Session on Ubiquitous e-Learning (UeL) aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners interested in developing the technology and also finding new methodologies and pedagogies for effectively using mobile, ubiquitous e-learning systems in virtual or hybrid learning environments. Communication technology improved dramatically in the last few years leading to opportunities for mobile-learning. Mobile systems are more and more ubiquitous, especially since the advent of smart phones and e-books. Virtual laboratories, e-Learning materials, and even colleagues and tutors can now be accessed from anywhere at any time. However, there are many issues remaining that require attention, such as usability, privacy, ethics, coordination, cost-effective implementation, among others. Authors are encouraged to submit their contributions either showing technological advancements or case studies related to all aspects of e-Learning. This special session provides an opportu! nity to come up-to-date with state-of-art research, cutting edge technology and development related with ubiquitous systems, virtual labs and e-learning environments in general, in combination with important issues involved in communication, coordination, and their impact on real-world applications of education and training, concerning both technologies and methodologies.
