to be held at the HCI 2008 conference, Liverpool, UK.
Monday 1 September 2008

This workshop at HCI2008 will investigate the role of Human Computer Interaction research in the design of technology to support learning, including: 
-mobile learning 
-ubiquitous technology to support learning 
-tangibles for learning, informal learning 
-lifelong learning 
-learning for development 
-and more...
Last year's HCI2007 workshop focused on HCI for e-learning. This year's workshop welcomes submissions addressing HCI issues from the full range of technology enhanced learning opportunities.

POSSIBLE TOPICS INCLUDE 
-The design of learning using novel technologies (e.g. VR, AR, mobiles, gaming devices) 
- Design guidelines and patterns for technology enhanced learning 
- Research methods in design, learnability, and use of learning technology 
- Case studies on the learner's experience of new learning technologies 
- The design of personalised and adaptive learning technology 
- Studies of e-learning tools (e.g. video, quizzes, discussion boards, voting systems) 
- Designing Web 2.0 for learning 
- Designing tangible technologies for learning 
- Designing for lifelong learning, workplace learning, etc 
- Designing for unusual learners, teachers, self-directed learning 
- Designing 'joyful' learning experiences 
- Designing Open Learning Technologies

The workshop intends to attract researchers, designers, and educators interested in understanding good design and the learner's experience of technology. Workshop participants could come from a variety of backgrounds such as HCI, psychology, design, computing and education. The main objective of the workshop is to establish a community of individuals with an interest in this area, allowing a lively exchange of ideas with the aim of supporting the research of the workshop members.
