===========================================================
Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------

The design of accessible, usable and pedagogically effective Technology
Enhanced Learning (TEL) products requires empirical research and real
users. The TEL4U special issue seeks contributions that describe how
empirical evidence or the involvement of real users in the design
process allow TEL researchers to produce accessible, usable and
pedagogically effective TEL products for the intended users. TEL4U also
welcomes contributions to TEL from contiguous research areas such as
cognitive systems, technologies for digital content and languages,
inclusion, smart schools, creativity and learning.

---------------------
Topics of Interests
---------------------

The special issue will carry revised and substantially extended versions
of selected papers presented at (i) the 3rd International Workshop on
Evidenced Based and User centered Technology Enhanced Learning workshop
(ebuTEL 2013), held in Trento on September 16th 2013, and (ii) at
Methodology and Intelligent Systems for Technology Enhanced Learning
(MIS4TEL 2014), held in Salamanca (Spain) on June 4th-6th, 2014,
expanding the topics of the evidence based TEL workshop series in order
to provide an open forum for discussing intelligent systems for TEL and
empirical methodologies for their design or evaluation.

Moreover, the special issue also strongly encourages submissions from
researchers that were unable to participate in the workshops, by
welcoming original research papers from topics including, but not restricted to:
• Personalisation, user modelling and adaptation in TEL;
• Games and game learning for TEL;
• Knowledge representation and reasoning for TEL;
• Knowledge management for TEL;
• Semantic web for TEL;
• Web 2.0 and social learning environments for TEL;
• Natural language processing for TEL;
• Effective teaching techniques and strategies for TEL;
• TEL case studies;
• Evaluation guidelines, methodologies and methods for TEL;
• Design guidelines, methodologies and methods for TEL;
• Accessibility and usability guidelines, methodologies and methods for TEL;
• TEL for users with special needs;
• Sharing and interoperability between TEL systems;
• Smart TEL environments.

KEYWORDS:
Technology enhanced learning, evidence-based design, user-centred
design, participatory design, co-design, serious games, educational game
design, evaluation, usability, user satisfaction, accessibility,
universal design, personalisation, smart schools, inclusion, creativity
and learning.
