> "Integrating Technology into Learning and Working"

>
> Technology is now widely used in a variety of educational and performance
> support situations. New technologies are being introduced before we learn
> how to make effective use of existing technologies. Rather than jump from
> one technology fad to another or leap to conclusions that new technologies
> require new planning and design processes or radically different learning
> paradigms, it appears reasonable to consolidate what we know works best in
> which various learning and work environments and to identify known gaps in
> our knowledge and areas where new technologies simply do not fit well into
> existing frameworks. Some things appear clear. First, the distinction
> between
> learning environments and performance and decision support for work
> environments
> is less and less clear. Moreover, some new technologies (e.g., Personal
> Digital
> Assistants) do require new frameworks for planning and implementation.
> Finally,
> new technologies provide for new planning and design possibilities (e.g.,
> collaborative design and development).
>
> This special issue will focus on Integrating Technology into Learning and
> Working. Issues relevant to this topic include, but are not limited to the
> following: (1) the impact of new technologies on the design, development
and
> delivery of educational and training materials; (2) the apparently
> disappearing
> distinction between learning and working; (3) new frameworks for planning
> and
> implementing learning and work support materials for new technology
> settings;
> and (4) interactions that may exist between personality and cultural
factors
> and collaboration in learning and work settings.
>
> We invite submissions covering these aspects that fall into the following
> categories:
> - Full length articles describing research results, presented through
> discussion
> and comparative analysis methods (about 5000 words);
> - Short feature articles presenting case studies, and work in progress
> (about 2500 words); and
> - Critiques, reviews, individual experience (about 1500 words).
>
> Initial proposals (500-1000 words) should be concise and contain the main
> theses
> of the proposed paper. They should be forwarded to the guest editor as a
> plain
> text in a body of an email message by. Proposals will be considered on
first
> come-first service basis thus allowing for more flexible planning of your
> further work.
