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.
In engineering education, there have been notable front runners that have paved the way for others on the issue of Sustainable Development, and two decades after Brundtland, various engineering schools have accepted the challenge of teaching it to future engineers. Reflecting this increase in interest, The European Journal of Engineering Education has published already several articles analyzing and reflecting on SD teaching practices.
In this special issue, we want to go beyond factual reports on technical subjects, curriculum change and institutional embedding. Although we might learn from reports on each other’s successful course or subject, we are really looking for comparative studies focusing on best practices at each level of SD integration.
Those that are interested in submitting a paper are invited to submit by mail a one page abstract, before September 10, 2007, to the special issue editors.
For further information or to receive some feedback on your ideas, you can contact the editors of this special issue.
The conference aims to promote the development of Mobile Learning in the Middle East, provide a forum for education and knowledge transfer, expose students to latest ICT technologies and encourage the study and implementation of mobile applications in teaching and learning.
