Call for Papers
Special Track on E-Learning Ecosystems
3rd IEEE International Conference on Digital Ecosystems and Technologies
IEEE DEST 2009
1-3 June 2009, Istanbul, Turkey
=======================================================================
The main conference theme of DEST 2009 is to strengthen ICT to support
different digital ecosystems, especially focusing on cyber engineering
and human space computing. It is the study of triangle relationship
between industries, human endeavours and advanced ICT. Get more

The special track E-Learning Ecosystems focuses in particular on
approaches and application of ecosystems for knowledge transfer and
learning purposes.

Our society of the 21st century makes great demands on its members in
virtually every part of their lives. It is expected that members of
the society keep pace with mutable situations, adapt their skills and
expertise, and collaborate and compete to provide to some extent value
for the society. As a result, modern instructional design, learning
goals and processes as well as appropriate learning environments must
support the development of the aforementioned skills and expertises.
Consequently, educational approaches have changed dramatically over
time from remedial repetitive learning to today's learning with an
understanding to become more independent in the learning process,
strengthen metacognitive and teamwork skills as well as link knowledge
in cultural context to be prepared for lifelong learning. Educational
approaches have also been influenced by technology but have also
increasingly applied technology over the last decades.
This complexity of modern learning setups of the 21st century demand
appropriate models and reference architectures which support (a) to
communicate the conception of topical learning from different
viewpoints, (b) to identify the multidisciplinary relations of
research areas, (c) to assess and classify learning approaches and
implementations, (d) to provide domain knowledge for research and
development activities. But such modern learning settings also require
flexible approaches and technological solutions. E-Learning Ecosystems
can provide both: it provides the foundation for interesting models
and frameworks but it also focuses on modern technology as the
infrastructure for enhanced e-learning environments.
Based on the ecosystem conception and the digital business ecosystem
idea, this track welcomes original and quality contributions in areas
including but not limited to
- Models and framework for topical learning
- Flexible and distributed learning environments
- Learning and training in virtual organizations
- Knowledge management in educational organizations
- New adaptive e-learning approaches
- Personalized learning environments
- Semantic web based learning environments
- Web 2.0 based learning environments
- Collaborative and group learning
- Trust building in distributed learning environments
