[Mycolleagues] Call For Paper--ACM MTDL2009

ACM International Workshop on Multimedia Technologies for Distance Learning (MTDL 2009)

Beijing, China, October 23, 2009

http://MTDL2009.mine.tku.edu.tw/

In conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2009

Multimedia technologies and networking infrastructure have changed human social behavior. One typical example is education. The impact of distance learning to traditional universities in particular allows educational professionals to rethink about how to efficiently and effectively using multimedia technologies to improve instruction, as well as to encourage students to learn. Although multimedia technologies have already been used widely in e-learning, various considerations should be carefully addressed from both pedagogical and technological perspectives, to ensure the successful incorporation of these technologies in e-learning. This ACM workshop aims to discuss problems, current studies, and solutions in how to use multimedia and communication technologies to improve e-learning. Especially, presentations should address the difference between using and without using multimedia technologies in education. Practical solutions are encouraged, although pedagogical theories may
!
be used to support the solutions. Topics of interests include but are not limited to the following:

Efficient Authoring Methods for Instruction Creation/Generation
Management of Multimedia Learning Objects
Multimedia Edutainment Technologies
Multimodal Interactions for e-Learning
Pedagogical Issues of using Multimedia Technologies in e-Learning
Real-time Delivery of Multimedia Instructions
Server and System Architecture for Multimedia Instructions
Multimedia Technologies for Collaborative Learning, Game-based Learning, and Mobile/Situated Learning

Paper Submissions

Each submission should be formatted using the ACM Proceedings templates. It should be written in 9 points and must not be longer than 10 pages in length, including references and figures. Authors may submit their papers in PDF format via the conference paper submission system. The review process is double-blind, i.e., all submissions must contain no information identifying the authors or their organizations. The Workshop Proceedings will be published by ACM.

Paper Submission Deadline: May 18, 2009

Authors of the best papers that are related to game-based learning will be invited to submit extended version of their papers for possible publication in a special issue of IEEE Trans. on Learning Technologies.
