Learning Technology newsletter invites articles, announcements, call for papers, project reports, case studies and other items which may be of interest to academics, researchers and professionals involved in the field of existing and emerging learning technologies.
On 05 November 2007 Location: online / publication CFP for a special issue in "Computers in Human Behavior" on Design Patterns for Augmenting E-Learning experiences.
Computers in Human Behavior [http://ees.elsevier.com/chb] is a scholarly journal dedicated to examining the use of computers from a
psychological perspective. The journal addresses human interactions with computers,
not computers per se. The computer is discussed only as a medium through which human behaviors are shaped and expressed.
The theme of the special issue Designers of e-learning environments
need to satisfy a wide range of user requirements within severe time
and resources constraints. E-learning environments, in order to be
successful, need to be crafted for experience. Experiencing something
involves a complex set of psychophysical processes: sensation,
perception, apperception, cognition, affection, and sometimes conation.

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
Collaborative learning systems have caused a drastic change in the way people focus work and learning, especially at a distance. An influencing issue concerns the analysis of both the systems performance and group interactions. The latter constitutes an important factor for group monitoring, support and performance. To support and enhance collaboration and learning, P2P and grid middleware and applications have opened new interesting possibilities. One the one hand, P2P allows collaborators to share their own resources; on the other hand, grid facilitates the access to remote learning services and resources not affordable locally as well as the increase of the participants' capacity to carry out specific tasks. Special emphasis is given to systems and applications that focus on participants that provide their own resources for the achievement of their goals.
This workshop aims at providing a forum for academic researchers, professionals and practitioners to exchange their experiences and their ideas about problems and solutions related to the design, development and use of groupware learning systems and applications. Researchers can report their ideas, models, designs and experiences on the proposed topics.
TOPICS OF INTEREST: P2P, Collaborative learning, Nomadic and mobile work, ...
