* Conference Background and Goals
The IADIS e-Learning 2006 conference addresses the always evolving reality 
of e-Learning and also distance education systems supported by the new 
Information and Communication Technologies. 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 5 days 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 like the IADIS Journal on Computer Science and 
Information Systems.
