EC-TEL'07 - Second European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
Creating new learning experiences on a global scale
17-20 September 2007, Crete, Greece - http://www.ectel07.org

Supported by the Professional Learning Cluster (PRO-LC)
http://www.professional-learning-cluster.org/

With the advance of metadata standards, learning objects, Web 2.0
approaches to rip, mix & burn learning, wikis, blogs, syndication, user
generated content, interactive TV, games and the ubiquitous availability
of computing devices we can and have to offer more flexible learning
services on a global scale. As one of the new objectives of the 7th
Framework Program of the European Commission puts it: we need
"Responsive environments for technology-enhanced learning that motivate,
engage and inspire learners, and which are embedded in the business
processes and human resources management systems of organizations". An
important challenge is to bridge between informal learning strategies of
the knowledge society and formal competence development programmes of
organizations.

After the success of EC-TEL 2006, the Second European Conference on
Technology Enhanced Learning provides a unique forum for all research
related to technology-enhanced learning, including its interactions with
knowledge management, business processes and work environments. This is
a competitive and broad forum for technology enhanced learning research
in Europe and world-wide through specialized workshops and the main
conference.

EC-TEL 2007 provides unique networking possibilities for participating
researchers throughout the week and includes project meetings and
discussions for ongoing and new research activities supported by the
European Commission.

We welcome submissions describing innovative research on all relevant
issues in computer science, learning, and the organizational context, as
well as experience reports and case studies describing innovative
applications of new learning environments and approaches.

Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to:
