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 28 February 2007 Location: Special issue of 'Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning"
The editors invite scholarly articles on learning that takes place within communities and sociotechnical design for this learning, to be considered for a special issue of Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning. Studies of learning in online communities and studies of community-oriented approaches in educational settings are acceptable, as are studies of learning in communities of practice, communities of interest, or groups defined in other ways. Papers should state the authors’ position concerning how learning takes place by virtue of the community setting (editors prefer papers in which community is intrinsic to the learning studied). Although there is a preference for contributions that are grounded in empirical evidence, strong theoretical papers will also be considered. Methodologies from diverse research traditions are acceptable, provided that the quality of work is convincing to researchers within the given tradition and the presentation is comprehensible to readers outside of the tradition.

The International Conference on Object Oriented Technologies aims at bringing together practitioners and researchers from academia and the industry to discuss the latest developments in object oriented technologies and advance the state of the art in the research on related technologies. Interest in these topics has been continuously growing as a consequence of the importance and the ubiquity of object-oriented technologies.
Mathematical Knowledge Management is an innovative field in the intersection of mathematics and computer science. Its development is driven on the one hand by the new technological possibilities which computer science, the internet, and intelligent knowledge processing offer, and on the other hand by the need for new techniques for managing the rapidly growing volume of mathematical knowledge.
