CALL FOR PAPERS FOR Next Generation Learning Platforms
Part of the Collaboration System Track
Thirty-sixth Annual HAWAI'I INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON SYSTEM SCIENCES
January 6 - 9, 2003
Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii
Technical area: The NGLP minitrack will focus on the highly needed service
platforms to support lifelong learning. It will provide input to the research
community, stressing the need for learning environments not only for academia
and educational institutes but also for business and industry related
environments where Internet/Intranet based Services are needed to facilitate and
expand the corporate knowledge and skills. The Minitrack should comprise
· innovative methods, tools and devices,
· architectures and
· pilot projects
from the area of distributed, collaborative, multimedia based authoring and
learning.
The NGLP mini-track fits particularly well into the Collaboration and System
Track, as it integrates the aspects of Learning Technologies and Cooperation
Methods with the infrastructures needed by corporations and public organizations
to make lifelong learning a utility.
The minitrack will highlight the need for integrated systems and investigate how
they work best in a highly distributed web-based environment tackling problems
such as
· collaborative computer aided authoring support,
· innovative design and usage of learning appliances,
· mobile devices and "learning-on-the move",
· work benches for international coverage of learning topics,
· reusability support for learning fragments,
· architectures and services for collaborative learning platforms,
· specialized search engines,
· personalization of learning environments,
· remote tutoring support,
· on-demand retrieval of learning material on-demand and
· certification of learners achievements / quality control.
The above-mentioned topics are just some of the major technical issues that
needs to be solved, to create integrated architectures. The systems engineering
approaches presented should also incorporate business models about how the
intended infrastructures will work from an economic point of view.
