[Corpora-List] Announcement: COLING 2004 Workshop on Computational Linguistics and eLearning

[Lothar Lemnitzer]

                "eLearning for Computational Linguistics
                                and
                Computational Linguistics for eLearning"

                International Workshop in conjunction with

                the 20th International Conference on Computational

                        Linguistics -- COLING 2004

                        Geneva, August 28th, 2004


The workshop presents and dicusses papers which are in the intersection
of Computational Linguistics / NLP and eLearning

eLearning for Computational Linguistics
---------------------------------------

This topic should be viewed as a follow-up of the 1999 EACL workshop
Computer and Internet Supported Education in Language and Speech
Technology}, the 2002 ACL workshop on Effective Tools and Methodologies
for Teaching NLP, and
 the LREC 2004 Workshop on Language Resources: Integration and
Development in eLearning and in Teaching Computational Linguistics. It
will give practioners in the field the opportunity to share didactic
experience of eTeaching CL, to identify and to disseminate good practice
models and resources and to share novel approaches to eLearning in CL.

Computational Linguistics for eLearning
---------------------------------------

In this part of the workshop, we will address the role which language
technology plays in the development of intelligent platforms for
eLearning. One focus of this part of the Workshop will be the
contribution of NLP to the building of intelligent computer-aided
language learning (I-CALL) systems. This workshop, however will also
show that NLP can improve the performance of eLearning environments in
general.
