Call for Workshop Proposals

The purpose of these workshops is to provide participants with an informal setting to discuss technical issues, to exchange research ideas, and to share practical experiences on some focused topics or emerging sub-areas in computers in education. Workshops can be (a) in the form of mini-conferences with paper presentations or (b) discussion-oriented involving perhaps collaborative work. All papers accepted by mini-conference type workshops will appear in one volume of workshop proceedings with ISBN. Published workshop papers will be made available on the official ICCE2008 website. Researchers and practitioners from all areas on computers in education are invited to submit proposals for review. The organizers of approved workshops are expected to define the workshop's focus, gather and review submissions, and decide upon final program content.

A workshop proposal should be less than four pages in length and should contain:
*    Title of the workshop
*   Style of the workshop (i.e. mini-conference or discussion style)
*    Theme of the workshop

*    Theme 1: AIED/ITS & Adaptive Learning
*    Theme 2: CSCL & Learning Sciences
*    Theme 3: Advanced Learning Technologies, Open Contents, & Standards
*    Theme 4: CUMTEL & DIGITEL
*    Theme 5: Emerging Research in Technology Enhanced Learning
*    Others: (Note: CUMTEL stands for Classroom, Ubiquitous, and Mobile Technologies Enhanced Learning, DIGITEL for Digital Game and Intelligent Toy Enhanced Learning.)

*    A brief description of the workshop topic
*    A draft of the workshop Call for Papers
*    Short biographies of the workshop organizers
*    A list of prospective members of the workshop program committee
