The 7th International Conference on Interactive Mobile and Computer Aided Learning, IMCL2012, is part of an international initiative to promote technology-enhanced learning and online engineering world-wide. The IMCL2012 conference will cover all aspects of mobile learning, mobile business, mobile government, mobile society as well as the emergence of mobile technologies, services, implementation and implications for education, business, governments and society. The IMCL2012 actually 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. The conference will also present an opportunity for educators to develop new skills and to stimulate critical debate on theories, approaches, principles and applications of mlearning, hence facilitate dialogue, sharing and networking between diverse cultures with regard to the optimal use of emerging technologies. IMCL2012 is organized under the umbrella of the International Association of Online Engineering (IAOE) and is supported by the online journals: the International Journal of Interactive Mobile Technologies (iJIM), the International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET) and the International Journal for Online Engineering (iJOE).
