IADIS International Conference on
Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA 2004)
15-17 December 2004 - Lisbon, PORTUGAL
(http://www.iadis.org/celda2004)
Endorsed by: IEEE Technical Committee on Learning Technology
* Conference background and goals
The IADIS CELDA 2004 conference aims to address the main issues concerning
with the evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and
applications in digital age. There have been huge advancements in both
cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational
arena. The convergence of these two disciplines has never been faster
before and this marriage has affected the very basis of the academia.
Paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivist approaches,
student-cantered learning and collaborative approaches have emerged, and
are being supported by technological advancements such as simulations,
virtual reality and multi-agents systems to name a few. This merger has
created both opportunities and areas of serious concerns. This conference
aims to cover both technological as well as pedagogical issues related to
these developments. Main tracks have been identified (see below). However
innovative contributions that do not fit into these areas will also be
considered as long as they are directly related to the overall theme of
the conference.
* Format of the Conference
The conference will comprise of invited talks, oral presentations for
discussion-oriented papers, and poster sessions for work-in-progress. The
proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book and
CD-ROM. Authors of selected papers will be invited to publish extended
versions of their papers in the Innovations in Education and Teaching
International Journal.
