CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue of IEEE Multimedia

Social Media for Ubiquitous Learning and Adaptive Tutoring

http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/mmcfp1


*********************************************************************


AIMS

The rapid growth of social media has led to an increasing number of social
media services, such as Facebook, Second Life, Twitter, and WhatsApp.
These tools facilitate a socially connected Web, where everyone can
interact with each other, create online communities, and share multimedia
content. With this social and participatory Web,  users are not just
content consumers but also content producers, often in a collaborative
manner. At the same time, with the fast-growing popularity of Massively
Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that have emerged from the convergence of
distance education and the increasing accessibility of the Internet,
university education may reach virtually unlimited number of learners
throughout the world. Thus, effectively improving the use of such
educational resources by relying on social media services becomes an
interesting and important issue for learners, tutors, and courseware
providers.


TOPICS

In this special issue, we solicit high quality papers that cover the
technical issues and systems that apply social media services to
ubiquitous learning and/or adaptive tutoring. We are also interested in
papers that provide an overview and discuss future directions of
social-media-enabled learning and tutoring services. The topics of
interest include, but are not limited to:

* Ubiquitous learning with social media technologies
* Adaptive and intelligent tutoring with social media services
* Courseware engineering with social media
* Web 2.0 technologies for multimedia learning and tutoring
* Collaborative learning in social networks
* Game-based learning through social media
* Personalized learning within social networks
* Social learning environments
* Social networks analysis and mining to support multimedia learning
* Multimedia content processing in social learning environments
* Multimedia-enabled learning in social networks
* Multimedia question-answering services
* Mobile social learning environments
