Handheld technology and pen-based input devices (e.g.,Tablet PC, PDA, Origami-UMPC, digital pen and paper, graphic tablets, pen-mouse) provide novel opportunities to develop:
• More natural interaction and collaboration
• Multimodal, multi-party feedback and communication
• Mobile learning.
This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners interested in any aspect of design, development, deployment and evaluation of the next generation of pen-based learning technologies. We seek original contributions that will advance our understanding of how to make optimal use of PBLTs, and that will elucidate the relationship between pen-based interfaces and pedagogy, learning tasks, and learning settings.

Subtle Technologies is a four-day multidisciplinary Festival exploring complex and subtle relationships between art and science. The annual international event combines symposia, exhibitions, workshops and performances that juxtapose cutting-edge artistic projects and scientific exploration.
For the 10th Annual Festival, Subtle Technologies invites practitioners of arts, sciences and medicines, and those who study their context, historians, ethicists, and other critical thinkers to contemplate how these disciplines can work together and reshape perspectives on the body.
As scientific and technological breakthroughs prominently occupy our culture, we ask where the boundaries are. We are interested in investigating how we relate bodies in situ: as parts, as a whole, as systems; how we identify, map, modify, protect, violate, and heal.
