2014 IEEE 14th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT) (ICALT)

ICALT is an annual international conference on Advanced Learning Technologies and Technology-enhanced Learning organized by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Technical Committee on Learning Technology The 14th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT2014) will be held in Athens, Greece. The Advanced Digital Systems and Services for Education and Learning (ASK), a research establishment founded in 2000 and associated with the Information Technologies Institute (ITI) of the Centre of Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) and the Department of Digital Systems of the University of Piraeus, will host the event. The theme of ICALT 2014 is "Advanced Technologies for Supporting Open Access to Formal and Informal Learning". Emerging technologies keep transforming not only the ways people learn but what they learn as well. Access to learning is nowadays moving beyond defined pathways and discrete courses. It rather integrates formal and informal learning experiences throughout life. Learning is structured around flexible curricula that accommodate needs of diverse student audiences, and offer access to courses, content, and resources through a variety of platforms, devices, and contexts. This change in the way people access learning, poses quandaries for educational organisations, researchers, practitioners and policy makers, especially with regards to the development of advanced technologies that accommodate the needs of a new generation of learners; the choice of appropriate technologies; and the application of learning technologies in emerging learning contexts. We invite submission of papers reporting original academic or industrial research in the area of Advanced Learning Technologies and Technology-enhanced Learning. All papers will be double-blindly peer-reviewed. Complete papers are required to be reviewed.
