Call for Papers: Special Issue Theme: Learning individually: life-
long perspective

'Educational Technology & Society' (ISSN 1436-4522) peer-reviewed
journal

http://ifets.gmd.de/periodical/


One  cannot  survive  in  quickly  changing  technological  world
without upgrading one's knowledge and skills, mastering new tools
and  procedures. Learning, which was attributed to the  childhood
and  youth,  became a life-long activity. Understanding  of  this
fact requires reconsideration of educational process and training
tools, but also motivates new design decisions for wide range  of
software  applications. Life- long learning cannot be covered  by
traditional  re-training  courses, it  requires  new  forms,  new
solutions,   integration  of  results   of   cognitive   science,
artificial  intelligence, instructional design and  many  others.
This  issue  will  focus on the needs of individual  learner  and
technological  innovations that may enhance the learning,  making
it  efficient  and  fascinating, focused and flexible,  deep  and
diverse.

We invite submissions discussing:

* specifics of  the adult learning, advises of psychologists  and
  findings of tutors;
* innovative technology-enhanced re-training methods;
* tools and resources for learning individually;
* knowledge-based  performance  support  systems,  open  learning
   environments; and
* other relevant issues.

that fall into one of the following categories:

* full  length  articles describing research results,  presenting
  thorough  discussion  and  comparative  analysis of  methods or
  tools (about 7000 words);
* short  feature articles  presenting case studies, and  work  in
  progress (about 3000 words); and
* critiques, reviews, individual experience (about 1500 words).

Initial  proposals should be concise and contain the main  theses
of  the  proposed paper. They should be forwarded  to  the  guest
editor as a plain text in a body of email message by Friday April
16th  1999. Your proposals will be considered on first come-first
service  basis thus allowing for more flexible planning  of  your
further work.
