The summer school aims to encourage participants to adopt a critical stance in thinking about the role of technologies in providing opportunities for learners and the potential of these opportunities in terms of learning.
The summer school provides a learning environment where participants get opportunities to: develop their research skills; increase their knowledge base; collaborate with others in their own and complementary research areas; engage in debate; have access to experts in the field; and discuss their own work.
The programme will include lectures from a broad range of domains which contribute to advancing the field of Technology Enhanced Learning. TEL research projects are encouraged to provide students with a perspective of the state-of-the-art research under study in their working groups. The programme will also include practical and methodological workshops and opportunities for doctoral candidates to develop their personal research. Students will have opportunities to present and discuss their doctoral work.
This year the JTEL Summer School will benefit from special funding from the STELLAR Network of Excellence in Technology Enhanced Learning and the European Association of Technology Enhanced Learning.
Accommodation and summer school facilities will be made available at Hotel Vila Galé Estoril, (http://www.vilagale.pt/pages/hoteis/?hotel=12) located right along Estoril Coast, two minutes away from the sea and overlooking the charming Tamariz Beach. PhD students are asked to share double rooms with other PhD students.

If you would like to offer a lecture or workshop at the summer school we invite you to submit a short abstract (max 250 words) describing your contribution, which should demonstrate how your presentation will benefit the PhD candidates attending the summer school (mainly early to mid-stage). We encourage interactive sessions rather than lecture-style presentations, and your abstract could include details about how you plan to engage the PhD candidates. Lectures are usually no longer than 45 minutes and workshops are usually 90 minutes. Some workshops run 2 x 90 minutes. Lectures should provide students with insight into the state-of-the-art in one aspect of TEL or methodologies for conducting research in TEL. Workshops should provide hands-on opportunities to work with new technologies or develop research techniques.
Please submit your proposal to Easy Chair: JTEL2012 EasyChair. Be sure to tick the correct box: lecture or workshop proposal.
PhD students applying to participate in the summer school are also invited to propose workshops.
If your preliminary proposal is selected, you will be requested to provide a full proposal on EasyChair (i.e. an extended abstract and a detailed planning of activities with the PhD candidates). Please note that speakers and workshop organizers are expected to cover the costs of their trip and accommodation (typically through the TEL projects they are belonging to).
This year, as scientific output of the summer school, we will publish the collection of the extended abstracts for presentations and workshops. We will provide further guidance concerning these extended abstracts but the idea is that they should emphasise the current challenges you are tackling and how they relate to the state-of-the-art in your area.

Venue Description
The Summer School will take place in Estoril, Portugal. Situated on the coast, half-hour by train from Lisbon, Estoril has a wonderful climate and a superb natural environment, known as the Portuguese Riviera. The richness of the heritage of Estoril Coast, reflects its Royal historic past. To walk around the region is to have the sensation of living in another time, to belong in another world. The Estoril Coast also knows how to adapt itself to the present, incorporating its “glamour”, delicacy, and royalty into a wide range of environments and activities. Surfers will find the best waves at Carcavelos Beach and Guincho Beach is very popular for wind and kite surfing. Nowhere else in the world can such changes of scenery and such contrasting atmospheres be experienced in such a small area as the Estoril Coast. The region offers a concentration of different experiences.Accomodation and Social Events
Accommodation and summer school facilities will be made available at Hotel Vila Galé Estoril, (http://www.vilagale.pt/pages/hoteis/?hotel=12) located right along Estoril Coast, two minutes away from the sea and overlooking the charming Tamariz Beach. PhD students are asked to share double rooms with other PhD students.
Cost of Summer School
The cost for PhD students is Euro 570 (including accommodation - 7 nights in double rooms, meals and excursions,). JTEL has secured funding to provide funding for about 40 PhD student grants to cover summer school accommodation, catering, and events. Please indicate if you are applying for a scholarship in your application.Social Groups
