Special Issue on "Models, contexts and classrooms for the 21st century"

to be published at the Interaction Design and Architecture(s) Journal (IxD&A) (ISSN 1826-9745) ==========================================================================

Guest Editors: Alke Martens, University of Education Schwaebisch Gmuend, Germany Sabine Graf, Athabasca University, Canada

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

This special issue of the IxD&A journal intends to expand the results of the workshop DULP@ICALT2011 (http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/dulp11/index.php)

DULP@ICALT2011 was intended to explore the path that, starting from the transformations that are marking the present, will lead us to the future of the Technology Enhanced Education (TEE). In such settings we find: - persons are considered in all her/his complexity and placed at the center of educational contexts and scenarios increasingly ubiquitous, complex, organic; - the perimeter of the physical space, in which the educational experiences develop, becomes increasingly undefined, liquid and host more and more nomadic and informal practices that cross glocalities characterized by a high density of social interactions; - technologies, increasingly embedded into the everyday spaces and artifacts, make the places not only more sensitive but also responsive and, potentially, co-evolutionary (TEP - Technology Enhanced Places) giving rise to new mixed landscapes in which one can experiment, seamless, the integration of physicality and virtuality.

This special issue of the IxD&A journal looks for contributions that, starting from the current state of the art, are able to: a) imagine a realistic future of TEE that should be applicable in real contexts; b) induce a fruitful encounter between disciplines, to the benefit of the centrality of the educational experiences and of the expectations of the individuals

Contributions can describe (but are not limited to): * realistic futuristic models for educational systems / settings / concepts / classrooms, * empirical evaluations and educational experiences with existing systems / settings / concepts / classrooms * the role of context in new systems / settings / concepts / classrooms and related models / experiences
