DULP& SPeL @ ICALT 2012: Exploring Emerging Technologies and the Future of Technology Enhanced Learning

3rd Workshop on Design Centered and Personalized Learning in Liquid and Ubiquitous Learning Places& 5th International Workshop on Social and Personalized Computing for Web Supported Learning Communities http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/dulpspel/index.php

in conjunction with ICALT 2012 The 12th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies http://www.scuolaiad.it/ICALT2012/

Rome, Italy 4-6 July 2012

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

Background ========== The proposed workshop is the result of merging the experience and background of two workshops centered on ubiquitous personalization and future visions in TEL: DULP and SPeL. Both workshops have as core topic the personalization of learning experiences as well as the future development of personalized learning environments. DULP stands for D -> Design Inspired Learning; U -> Ubiquitous Learning; L -> Liquid Learning Places; P -> Person in Place Centered Design, thus summarizing and bringing together a number of current trends and researchers. DULP started as a national effort in Rome, Italy, in 2009; after the first steps, an international community has been built, and a series of workshops started at ICALT 2010 and continued at ICALT 2011. The SPeL workshop has as general topic the social and personal computing for web-supported learning communities, leading towards the creation of a truly social and adaptive learning environment. The workshop has been held during the last 4 years in conjunction with the SAINT 2008, WI/IAT 2009, DEXA 2010 and ICWL 2011 conferences respectively.

Topics of Interest ================== The workshop welcomes submissions covering aspects of emerging technologies and future of TEL, especially in the areas of personalized, social and ubiquitous learning, particularly related to:

* Social learning environments * Theory and modeling of social computing in education * Web 2.0 tools for collaborative learning * Lifelong learning networks * Social- and group- learning theory * Knowledge community formation and support * Virtual spaces for learning communities * Social networks analysis and mining * Computer-supported collaborative learning * Personalized and adaptive learning * Adaptation methods and techniques for groups of learners * Intelligent learner and group modeling * Adaptive Web interfaces for learning scenarios * Collaborative filtering and recommendations for learners * Metadata, folksonomies and tagging * Social information retrieval * Mobile, ubiquitous and pervasive e-learning applications * Context modeling * Intelligent agent technology in web-based education * Cognitive, motivational and affective aspects * Practice and experience sharing * Future visions and models for ubiquitous learning in liquid learning places * New generation of virtual and physical learning places

Paper submission and publication ================================ All accepted workshop papers will be included in the IEEE Conference Proceedings of ICALT, published by IEEE Computer Society.

The length of the workshop papers should not exceed 2 pages and should be formatted according to the IEEE Conference Publishing Services Formatting Guidelines (http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/icalt2012/index.php?s=113&a=... ).
