IADIS International Conference on
Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA 2011)
November 6 - 8, 2011 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
(http://www.celda-conf.org/)
Endorsed by the Japanese Society of Information and Systems in Education
* Conference background and goals
The IADIS CELDA 2011 conference aims to address the main issues concerned
with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and
applications in the digital age. There have been advances in both
cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational
arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a fast
pace and affecting academia and professional practice in many ways.
Paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivism, student-centered
learning and collaborative approaches have emerged and are being supported
by technological advancements such as simulations, virtual reality and
multi-agents systems. These developments have 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. However innovative contributions that do
not easily fit into these areas will also be considered as long as they
are directly related to the
overall theme of the conference – cognition and exploratory learning in
the digital age.
* Format of the Conference
The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations for
discussion-oriented papers. The proceedings of the conference will be
published in the form of a book and CD-ROM.
Authors of the best published papers in the CELDA 2011 proceedings will be
invited to publish extended versions of their papers in a special issue of
an international journal.
* Types of submissions
