As mobile and ubiquitous computing becomes a reality, more formal and informal learning will take pace out of the confines of the traditional classroom. Two trends converge to make this possible; increasingly powerful cell phones and PDAs, and improved access to wireless broadband. At the same time, due to the increasing complexity, modern learners will need tools that operate in an intuitive manner and are flexibly integrated in the surrounding learning environment.
Educational services will become more customized and personalized, and more frequently subjected to changes. Learning and teaching are now becoming less tied to physical locations, co-located members of a group, and co-presence in time. Learning and teaching increasingly take place in fluid combinations of virtual and "real" contexts, and fluid combinations of presence in time, space and participation in community. To the learner full access and abundance in communicative opportunities and information retrieval represents new challenges and affordances.
Consequently, the educational challenges are numerous in the intersection of technology development, curriculum development, content development and educational infrastructure.
In this workshop we solicit research and industrial contributions covering developments that operate in the intersection of mobile and ubiquitous technologies on the one hand, and educational settings in open, distance and corporate learning on the other, including learning theories, applications, and systems.
Topics of special interests ( but are not limited to):
- Mobile and ubiquitous technologies for learning, teaching and training
- Advanced hardware systems for mobile and ubiquitous learning
- Advanced software systems for mobile and ubiquitous learning
- Advanced educational content and courseware for mobile and ubiquitous technologies
- Open and distance education with mobile and ubiquitous technologies
- Learning Management Systems for mobile and ubiquitous learning
- Corporate education with mobile and ubiquitous technologies
- Organizational infrastructure for the support of mobile and ubiquitous learning and education
- Privacy and security issues for learning with mobile and ubiquitous technologies
- Artifacts for ubiquitous computing for learning
- Integrating virtual and real worlds with ubiquitous devices in educational settings
- Virtual and augmented environments with mobile and ubiquitous technologies
- Ubiquitous city: empowering learning communities in a city context with mobile and ubiquitous technologies
- Assessment of mobile and ubiquitous learning
- Collaborative learning with mobile and ubiquitous technologies
- Mobile and ubiquitous technologies and applications in distance and professional education
- Pedagogical and didactical aspects of using mobile and ubiquitous technologies for learning
- Ubiquitous and mobile technologies for children
- Ubiquitous and mobile technologies for elderly and disabled
- Future mobile and ubiquitous technologies for learning
INSTRUCTION FOR THE AUTHORS
The MUTL 2007 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Conference Publishing Services and on-line via IEEE XPlore Digital Library. IEEE will index the papers with major indexes.
Important deadlines:
| Full paper submission | May 20, 2007 |
| Authors notification | June 16, 2007 |
| Registration and camera ready | July 1, 2007 |
Only .pdf or .doc files will be accepted for paper submission. All received papers will be acknowledged via the EDAS system.
Final author manuscripts will be 8.5" x 11" (two columns IEEE format), not exceeding 6 pages; max 4 extra pages allowed at additional cost. The formatting instructions can be found on the Instructions page.
Once you receive the notification of paper acceptance, you will be provided by the IEEE CS Press an online author kit with all the steps an author needs to follow to submit the final version. The author kits URL will be included in the letter of acceptance.
Technical marketing/business/positioning presentations
The conference initiates a series of business, technical marketing, and positioning presentations on the same topics. Speakers must submit a 10-12 slide deck presentations with substantial notes accompanying the slides, in the .ppt format (.pdf-ed). The slide deck will be published in the conference’s CD collection, together with the regular papers. Please send your presentations to petre@iaria.org.
Tutorials
Tutorials provide overviews of current high interest topics. Proposals can be for half or full day tutorials. Please send your proposals to petre@iaria.org
Panel proposals:
The organizers encourage scientists and industry leaders to organize dedicated panels dealing with controversial and challenging topics and paradigms. Panel moderators are asked to identify their guests and manage that their appropriate talk supports timely reach our deadlines. Moderators must specifically submit an official proposal, indicating their background, panelist names, their affiliation, the topic of the panel, as well as short biographies.
