CALL FOR PAPERS
Advances in multimedia capture, analysis and delivery, combined with the
rapid
adoption of broadband communication, have resulted in multimedia
teaching
systems that have advanced traditional forms of education. Research in
these
areas has achieved impressive results in the last few years and many
actual
working systems and commercial products are now routinely used by a
growing
number of people. However,the various web sites and lecture videos produced
as
part of the "e-learning hype" generally do not exploit the full potential
of
multimedia. The question about how multimedia can really make learning
more
exploratory and enjoyable is as yet unanswered, and we are just beginning
to
understand the real contribution of multimedia to education. In addition,
new
trends in multimedia technology, such as multimedia on handheld devices
or
advanced approaches for the automatic analysis of multimodal signals,
offer
novel and exciting opportunities for teaching and learning.
The growing pervasiveness of multimedia on any computing device also
increases
the relevance of knowledge about multimedia for computer scientists
and
software engineers. However, the significance of multimedia for the future
of
computing is generally not reflected in current curricula. For example,
few
universities offer dedicated courses and multimedia is often only taught
as
part of other courses such as computer graphics or machine learning.
In
addition, multimedia is a very active and rapidly changing field. New
and
emerging technologies can not only influence how we teach but also have
an
impact on what we should teach.
The goal of this workshop is to identify current and evolving trends,
specify
open problems, and discover challenges and prospects for new research in
the
broad topic of multimedia-based education. By bringing together
researchers
working on educational multimedia with multimedia educators, we want
to
establish an open discussion on these issues and create a reference for
future
research in this area. In particular, we invite submissions in one of
the
following areas:
-> MULTIMEDIA EDUCATION, i.e. submissions which identify key issues and
best
practices for teaching multimedia and look into the future of
multimedia
education.
-> EDUCATIONAL MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS, i.e. work on educational
multimedia
systems and applications that promote learning.
-> EMERGING TRENDS, i.e. papers on novel technologies and emerging trends
in
computing that offer new and exciting possibilities for the production
and
usage of multimedia learning material.
We explicitly encourage researchers from other communities who are
also
working with multimedia data and multimodal signals to contribute to
this
workshop by submitting their research related to educational
multimedia
material and applications. In addition, any contribution from an
emerging
field dealing with education and new media is welcome. Further potential
areas
of interest include, among them, gaming and learning, human-centered
computing,
and ubiquitous computing. Information about submissions (up to 10 pages in
ACM
style, shorter submissions are welcome as well) are available on the
workshop
web site (see URL below). Selected papers will be invited for publication
in a
related journal.
