EC-TEL is a unique setting
for researchers,
practitioners, and policy makers in Technology Enhanced Learning
from Europe
and other continents to meet together and exchange on the
current challenges
and advances in the field. At EC-TEL, experts and young
researchers in Computer
Science, Education, Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Social
Science, as well
as entrepreneurs have the opportunity to establish
collaborations, strengthen
their links and cross-fertilize their core disciplines.
EC-TEL 2011will push
further the Ubiquitous Learning
paradigm by not only tackling the challenges of exploiting new
trendy devices
in various contexts, but also by investigating ways to meet and
support
formally and informally the learners in their learning
playgrounds and social
environments thanks to innovative scenarios.

DEMONSTRATIONS
The EC-TEL Demonstration
is your chance to fully
engage EC-TEL attendees at a personal level by letting them see,
touch,
squeeze, or hear your visions for the future of TEL. We expect
that your
Demonstration will be a reliably running prototype of your
vision ready to be
tried out, questioned, and interacted with. In particular, we
encourage
Demonstration submissions that complement an EC-TEL Paper
submission, so that
attendees can get a direct experience of your work in addition
to the
scientific presentation.
WORKSHOP ORGANISATION
EC-TEL 2011 offers the
opportunity to host several
workshops. Parties interested to organize a workshop are asked
to submit a
proposal of max. 4 pages outlining the theme of the workshop,
workshop format,
expected participants and domains addressed, dissemination
activities,
programme committee, and organizational requirements. A separate
call will be
published in parallel. Proposals should be submitted via the
EasyChair system
of EC-TEL.
PROJECT MEETINGS
In addition to the regular
sessions and workshops,
EC-TEL offers a unique opportunity for European Projects in TEL
to held
face-to-face meetings. Please contact the local organization
Chair at your
earliest convenience to book meeting rooms.
