5) Enhancing Learning Through Technology
Overall objectives of the book From the perspective of stimulating change and bringing about innovation in design of curricula, the book aims to identify and present, from a principled approach, the latest research, not only on relevant theory and practice, but also in terms of capturing learning designs and best-practice, which demonstrate significant and innovative ways of enhancing learning processes through responsible and meaningful integration of technology in learning environments. It is written for professionals who want to understand the mechanisms of success and failure and for those - mainly within a tertiary education environment - who want to improve their learning designs, building on a deeper theoretical insight into the area. We also believe that the book will be relevant to colleges of education worldwide, students of education and educational technologists and theorists who wish to design for learning and promote debate at master and higher levels of attainment in universities.
This book has now been published.

In conjunction with the IEEE-CreateNet-ICST CollaborateCom 2006 Conference Atlanta, Georgia, USA, November 17th - 20th, 2006
E-learning uses the ICT technologies to support learning in its various forms, often trying to break space and temporal constraints. Collaboration is believed to be one of the most effective forms of learning. Computer supported collaborative learning is an active area that attempts to put together the best of the two approaches. Much work has been done in this area: however the underlying ICT technologies evolve rapidly, and also our understandings of how collaboration works changes with time. The aim of the present workshop is to present and discuss innovative ideas and trends in this domain. We invite original contributions from researchers in academia and computer industry on these emerging and important areas of information technology.
This Workshop will held as part of the 2nd International Conference on Collaborative Computing (http://www.collaboratecom.org) that will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, November 17th - 20th, 2006 . Main topics include (but are not limited to) applications of advanced technology for innovative collaborative learning and training: • innovative technology for Collaborative Learning (planning, design, development, testing, deployment, integration, maintenance, etc.) • innovative software tools and software/hardware systems for Collaborative Learning • distributed systems for Collaborative Learning • mobile and ubiquitous systems for Collaborative Learning • semantic web applications for Collaborative Learning • 3D Collaborative Learning environments • peer to peer Collaborative Learning environments • services for Collaborative Learning • how pedagogy should influence the design of Collaborative Learning systems • Collaborative Learning best cases and practices -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Workshop Organizer: Prof. Marco Ronchetti Dept. of Information and Communication Technologies Università di Trento 38050, Povo di Trento, Itay Email: marco.ronchetti@unitn.it
