This conference has a unique concept: it is a scientific conference hosted virtually. This means that the quality of a scientific conference (with the peer reviewed submissions, the publication in a book and CD with ISBN, the possibility of best papers being considered for publication as extended versions in journals) comes together with the benefit of being at your office or at home and taking part in it at any time during its three week duration. You choose which sessions to attend from the conference themes offered and you can tailor your best schedule. * Format of the Conference The conference will comprise invited talks and oral presentations. The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book. The best paper authors will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in selected Journals. * Types of Submissions Full and Short Papers, Posters/Demonstrations, Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject to a blind refereeing process. * Topics related to the e-Learning conference are of interest: - Asynchronous Learning - Authoring Tools - Blended Learning - Collaborative Learning - Computers in Education - Development Issues - Distance Learning - eLearning Platforms - eLearning Tendencies - Evaluation - Good Practices - Infrastructure issues - Innovative Curriculum in e-Learning - Instructional Design - Knowledge Management for e-Learning - Learning & Content Management Systems - Learning Architectures - Learning Models - Learning Tecgnologies - Module Reuse - Ownership and Property Rights - Paradigms - Pedagogical Issues - Performance Issues - Policy Issues - Quality Management - Simulations - Standards and Standardisation - Teacher’s Assessment - Teaching, Learning and Assessment Strategy - Virtual Classrooms - Virtual Laboratories - Virtual Universities * Important Dates: - Submission Deadline (Last CFP) - 14 March 2005 - Notification to Authors (Last CFP) - 28 March 2005 - Final Camera-Ready Submission and Early Registration - Until 23 March 2005 - Late Registration - After 23 March 2005 * Submission Instructions available here: http://www.iadis.org/multi2005/submissions.asp * Submission: Please submit your paper through this link only: http://www.iadis.org/confman_el2005/author_new.asp * Conference Location The IADIS e-Learning 2005 Conference is virtually located.
