"ADVANCED LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES: MEDIA AND THE CULTURE OF LEARNING"

ICALT-2002 invites submissions with a good theoretical base or
formalism and vital inspiration that present new, yet unpublished,
solid achievements based on experimental and/or theoretical evidences
that come to answer concretely one or more of the questions above or
can point to possible answers. Survey papers are also accepted, if
they are well documented, make a contribution to the field, and reveal
new aspects and perspectives, as well as future directions.  This year
ICALT will offer in particular a platform for those who bring
additional methods, tools and criteria for successful media
development. Traditionally, the evolution of media for learning was
based both upon theoretical and artistic grounds. We now gradually see
intermediate foundations between these two (often irreconcilable)
godfathers.

The first influx that helps us in this reunion is that learners
themselves become active players in the way media manifest during the
moments of ultimate learning.  The second is the stepwise acceptance
of learning practices that rely upon aesthetic, emotional and social
factors. New (virtual) learning communities arise on the WWW with the
goal to promote one's courage to change himself as a learner.
Thirdly; many successful learning tools were initially not aimed at
learning: Simulations programs, expert systems, agents, virtual
reality and all WWW-based communication tools.

It seems that learning is a many-facetted process that benefits from
new tools and interaction games all the time. The binding factor
between learning and media development is the cultural heritage to
assimilate new genres, new fashions and new etiquettes in our way to
express meanings and promote mutual tolerance.  Here we have the
responsibility to make learners conscious of their identity and their
responsibility to help others to learn as well.

We would like to invite you to bring in papers, based upon your
experience, intuition and beliefs that are worth to be discussed from
a scientific point of view. The more concrete you express your message
in terms of media and new technologies, the more welcome you are.

** Topics of Interest
