International Conference on
Information Technology Based
Higher Education and Training
|
http://mecha.ee.boun.edu.tr/educ.html
Objectives: As Europe enters into the emerging
global information society, new opportunities are arising for cost-effective
solutions to education and training. The convergence of information and
communication technologies is enabling the creation and implementation of
computer aided and/or multimedia based techniques. It is recognized that
traditional, mass-produced, highly controlled static and rigid educational and
training methods cannot cope with the greatly increased demand for higher
education and with the need to bring ever-increasing amounts of information,
knowledge and expert reasoning to students who may be far from a traditional
classroom. We increasingly hear concepts like "virtual class" or
"virtual laboratory". The planned conference is one of the series
initiated by the Euro-Med Information Society Steering Group and has the goal
of bringing together experts to discuss the current state of the art in this
area. Internet-based education and training will be a topic of particular
interest.
Topics:
The scope of the conference will cover but not be
limited to:
· New strategies for higher education and
training
· Network based education and training
· Intelligent training technology
· Authoring technology
· Virtual classroom, virtual university
· Asynchronous learning
· Distance education
· Quality management in higher education
· Accreditation issues
· Industry-institute partnership
· Small and medium scale enterprises and the use
of new technologies in their
training programs
· Role of information society and global
communication system
Scientific Program: The duration of the
conference will be three days. The scientific program will include:
· Oral presentations
· Video presentations
· Demonstrations of technology based training
material
· Panel sessions
Proceedings: The proceedings of the conference will
be published and be available at the time of the conference. Additionally, it
is planned to publish some selected papers of the conference in IEEE Transactions on Education and the
journal Industry & Higher Education.
Paper submission: Prospective participants are invited
to submit electronically a 700-1000 word extended summary. The details are
available on
the web site of the conference.
