First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning (Crete, Greece, from Oct 01, 2006 08:00 AM to Oct 04, 2006 06:00 PM)

With the shift towards the knowledge society, changing working conditions and the continuous evolution of information and communication technologies, peoples' knowledge and skills need continuous development. Technology-enhanced learning is one of the strategic objectives of the EU/IST Work Programme, with the goal of "improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of learning, for individuals and organizations, independent of time, place and pace." Innovative infrastructuctures, methods and approaches are needed to reach this goal, and will facilitate transfer and sharing of knowledge between individuals and in organisations. For e-learning, as in e-commerce and e-business, systemic changes wrought by emerging technologies are also changing the relationships between consumption and production - in this case of knowledge - as what many call 'Web 2.0' becomes more interactive and user-generated content becomes more widespread. The First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning provides a unique forum for all research related to technology-enhanced learning, as well as its interactions with knowledge management, business processes and work environments. It will provide a competitive yet broad enough forum for technology enhanced learning research in Europe and world-wide through specialized workshops and the main conference. The EC-TEL 2006 will provide unique networking possibilities for participating researchers throughout the week and include project meetings and discussions for EU/IST projects funded within the 6th framework program under the action line of "Technology- Enhanced Learning and Access to Cultural Heritage". We welcome submissions describing innovative research on all relevant issues, focusing on aspects from computer science, business and/or education, as well as experience reports and case studies describing innovative applications of new learning environments and approaches.

2nd intl. Symposium on Media Informatics (Bonn, Germany, from Nov 16, 2006 09:00 AM to Nov 17, 2006 04:30 PM)

Social software - often connected to older forms of computer mediated communication (CMC) and newer discussion about online communities - can be defined as software that supports activities in digital social networks. The use of new digital media tools such as blogs, wikis, tagging and other communicative or multimedia assets create new challenges for interdisciplinary research in media informatics. What are the effects when media get agency in digital networks? How can we trace and understand collective processes on the internet? What is the role of visualisation? What is the role of social software on change processes in organisations? Are there new models of labour, new processes and new forms of organisations possible? Will users be empowered or will lack of data protection and pricacy set free new genies? What is the impact of tools supporting social structures on the emancipation and appropriation? Which are the impacts on design and media? Will they help facilitating new forms of democracy, digital rights, and overcome the digital divide? Or will the hunt for digital reputation lead to cow paths where only cows walk by? The second international symposium on perspectives in media informatics is organized jointly by the two leading collaborative research centres for media Media and cultural communication and Medienumbrüche, the Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology B-IT and the Network of Excellence on technology enhanced professional learning PROLEARN. It brings together researchers and practitioners from media informatics, sociology, ANT, law, media theory, social software, collaborative work and learning, to discuss current trends and emergent issues of sociality in digital networks in a mixture of invited talks and round table events. The event will be accomplished by online activities and practical exercises in social software.
