E-Learning Baltics -- eLBa 2008
eLBa-Science: International Scientific E-Learning Conference
June 18-19, 2008, Rostock, Germany

Submission Deadline: April 7, 2008
------------------------------------------------------------------
AIMS AND SCOPE
The international conference »E-Learning Baltics« addresses all aspects
of teaching and learning with digital media. It was initiated by both
representatives from science and business. »E-Learning Baltics« offers
with a scientific conference (eLBa-Science), an application forum
(eLBa-Business) and an accompanying fair an ideal opportunity
for presenting innovative products as well as actual and ongoing
research results.
The event provides a platform for exchange of results, solutions,
experiences and for starting new collaborations.
The International Scientific E-Learning Conference »eLBa-Science«
presents the scientific part of »E-Learning Baltics« and affords
presentation and publication of peer reviewed scientific contributions
covering the fields of computer sciences, pedagogy, psychology, and
design.
The 2008 conference focuses on the topic »e-learning in working
processes«. The demand for permanent education and training -- life long
learning -- is by now inherent part of daily job routine. Methods and
tools of e-learning can play an important role to meet these demands.
The understanding of working processes shall not be narrowed to job
routine only. Also pupils, vocational school students, and university
students more and more face learning situations that force the use of
computers for learning, i.e. »e-learning in learning processes«. Not
least e-learning contributes beyond the active professional life also to
the constitution of everyday life, summarized in »e-learning for
seniors«.
Following this, »e-learning in working processes« addresses very divers
topics and perspectives, technologies and theories, implementations and
evaluations in the fields of computer sciences, pedagogy, psychology,
and design. Accordant we invite contributions from all these fields.
TOPICS of interest include, but are not limited to:
- E-learning in working processes; e-learning in learning processes; e-learning for seniors
- Communication, cooperation, and collaboration in learning processes; computer supported cooperative learning (CSCL)
- Game based learning; game based training
- Didactic for e-learning; game didactics
- Modes of learning and teaching; scenarios for learning and teaching
- Learning technologies; learning platforms; learning programs
- Best practice; examples from professional use
SUBMISSIONS
We invite contributions to the above-named topics. Extended abstracts of
1-3 pages written in English or German should be submitted until April
7, 2008 via email at »submit@e-learning-baltics.de«. All submissions
will be reviewed by an international program committee. Accepted papers
will be presented at the conference (30 minutes for talk and discussion)
and published in the conference proceedings. Conference languages are
English and German.
PROCEEDINGS
Accepted papers will be published in a proceedings book edited by
Fraunhofer IGD Rostock as part of a scientific book series.
For this the authors have to submit a camera-ready version of 10 pages
maximum of their paper until June 2, 2008. Detailed information on
