Call for papers: IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobi le Technologies in Education (WMTE 2002)

IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in Education
(WMTE 2002)
August 29-30, 2002
Teleborg Campus, Växjö University, Växjö, Sweden

** Sponsored by
IEEE Learning Technology Task Force (Approval pending)

The IEEE International Workshop on Wireless and Mobile Technologies in
Education
(WMTE 2002) will bring together researchers, academics and industry
practitioners
who are involved or interested in the design and development of Wireless and
Mobile Learning Technologies. Understanding of the challenges faced in
providing
technology tools to support the learning process and ease the creation of
instruction material using mobile technologies will help building a
direction for
further research and implementation work.

It is expected that the workshop will promote a very intensive interaction
among
those attending it, giving ample time to discuss papers. Each full paper
will
have a 30-minutes slot for presentation and discussion. Short papers and
work in
progress will have 20 minutes. In both cases, a moderator will present
his/her
view of the paper to initiate the discussion.

The Workshop Proceedings will include contributions accepted by the
International
Program Committee, and will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press.

** Topics of Interest
The topics of interest related to the conference theme include but are not
limited to:

Architecture of mobile learning systems
New emerging wireless technologies
Ubiquitous computing and integrated learning environments
Innovative use of wireless and mobile technologies for learning
Mobile agents for learning
Practical uses of wireless and mobile technologies
Groupware solutions for collaborative learning
Learner-supportive interfaces for mobile applications
Evaluation of mobile learning systems
