You have still 31 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 : ========================ÿ 3D======== : * 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 : ========================ÿ 3D== : : 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). The file for panel proposals should be sent : as an e-mail attachment directly to the track chair. : : CONTACT : ======== : For comments and suggestions, please contact Dietrich Seibt (email: : seibt@wi-im.uni-koeln.de) : : Yours sincerely, : Stefan Schäfer : : __________________________________________________ : Dipl.
