You have still 24 days to submit your paper! : > : > : > OBJECTIVES : > ========== : > The field of Higher Education is currently undergoing dramatic structural : > changes, mostly driven by Information & Communication Technologies : > (IC-Technologies), which are penetrating all kinds of learning and : > teaching processes and additionally are altering and enhancing knowledge : > generation, acquisition, aggregation and distribution / dissemination. : > These changes are occurring on a global level and are likely to accelerate : > over the next few years at high speed. : > : > Modern IC-Technology supplies us with the resources to design new or : > reengineer existing systems and organisations for Higher Education, which : > can generate and provide very flexible products, services and combinations : > of products/services for a vast majority of individual education needs. No : > doubt we will have to answer many open questions and solve a variety of : > complex problems, until we will get the systems and organisations suitable : > for the Higher Education of the future. To mention only a few: : > * Challenges of content: What contents should be selected and : > generated for what kind of education product/service? Behind this question : > there is e.g. a huge bulk of knowledge management problems. : > * Challenges of IC-Technology: What kinds of computers, networks, : > multimedia-systems etc. should be used, to support not only face-to-face : > learning/teaching but also distance learning/ teaching, to supply learners : > and teachers with the basis to interact as intensively as possible and to : > apply group learning as well as individual learning. : > * Challenges of pedagogical processes: How to achieve successful new : > pedagogical processes, which are made possible by applying new media and : > new technologies? What prerequisites and what effects will they have? : > * Challenges of organisation: How should the processes of producing : > education modules, of customising and transferring them to the customer, : > of consulting/looking after the customer, of controlling effectiveness and : > efficiency of teaching and learning processes be organised? Which : > institutions are able and ready to take care of these different processes : > for different types of learners? : > : > The track should provide the opportunity to discuss a broad spectrum of : > these 'open' questions. : > : > : > TRACK THEME AND SUGGESTED TOPICS : > ================================= : > * Higher Education in the Age of Globalisation and : > * Higher Education, supported by Multimedia-Systems and omnipresent : > networks. : > : > Issues that could be addressed: : > * Successes and failures of Virtual Universities, engaged in Higher : > Education : > * Relations between globalisation of business processes and : > globalisation of Higher Education : > * Higher Education as just-in-time education at the workplace of the : > learner : > * International co-operation in the production of education modules : > and in the organisation of international studies on the basis of distance : > learning (problems of distance examinations) : > * International markets for Higher Education - status, prospects, : > growth rates etc. : > * Future roles of : > - education brokers, : > - virtual competence centres for knowledge management/content : > generation : > - education network providers : > * Higher Education embedded into the concept of live-long-learning : > * Integration of education content production with knowledge : > management processes (knowledge selection, generation, acquisition, : > aggregation, distribution etc.) : > * Costs and benefits of applying IC-Technology in processes of Higher : > Education : > * Linking electronic platforms for Higher Education with electronic : > libraries and electronic knowledge bases : > * Higher Education for students in the Information Systems field: : > making them ready to take their roles in the development/reengineering of : > IC-Systems for Higher Education : > : > : > IMPORTANT DATES : > ================ : > Paper submission deadline: November 15, 1999 : > Acceptance decisions: January 30, 2000 : > Camera-ready copy due: February 28, 2000 : > : > : > PAPER SUBMISSION PROCEDURE : > =========================== : > : > Papers (research papers, practice-oriented papers, case studies) can be : > registered and submitted on-line via the ECIS 2000 web site : > (http://ecis2000.wu-wien.ac.at).
