     In response to the emerging research diversity, ICCE2009 will be a meta-conference - a conference of collocated theme-based conferences. This is the Call for Papers for the theme-based conference, C4: ICCE Conference on CUMTEL, standing for "Classroom, Ubiquitous and Mobile Technologies Enhanced Learning". Some of the best papers from this ICCE conference on CUMTEL will be invited to submit an extended and revised version for a special issue to be published in the journal of Educational Technology and Society (SSCI indexed) in October 2010.

    Advocated by educators and researchers, the notion of ONE-TO-ONE technology enhanced learning (the OLPC project of MIT is an example) is attributed to the increasing adoption of mobile, connected, and personal computing devices in everyday life and work. This latest approach brings the potential for promoting rapid changes to the field of education. Together with pervasively embedded cheap and tiny computing chips and sensors in our living and learning environment, such technologies do not only make tangible objects smart, but also provide us with novel ways to interact with our environment both, from an individually and collaboratively perspective. Thus, these new technologies can be considered as driving forces that connect seamlessly formal learning settings, such as classrooms or lecture halls in schools or universities, and informal learning settings, such as outdoor environments or museums, forming various learning scenarios. Therefore, CUMTEL has initiated a new line of educational research that highlights both pedagogical and technological innovation in order to support and amalgamate contemporary pedagogical design for individual and collaborative learning including also game-like based learning. This theme-based conference will expose the results of current research efforts in this field as well as future challenges in terms of pedagogies and technologies.

The scope of CUMTEL will cover but not be limited to:
· Classroom human-computer interaction
· One-to-one learning scenarios
· Mobile social networks
· Mobile and ubiquitous computing support for collaborative learning
· Web 2.0 and mobile applications for learning and teaching
· Wireless sensor networks to support learning
· Small-screen interface design
· Context-aware learning environments
· Mobile Collaborative Learning Systems
· Issues related to the adoption of one-to-one technology for learning
· New learning/instruction devices
· Game-based learning with ubiquitous and one-to-one technologies
· Adaptive and adaptable learning environments using mobile and ubiquitous devices
· New pedagogical approaches for ubiquitous learning environments
· Agent support for ubiquitous learning and one-to-one classrooms
· Surveys of learners
· Architectures and infrastructures for ubiquitous learning and one-to-one classroom systems
· Evaluation and evaluation methodologies
