With the advent of Web 2.0 and related technologies, Social Computing

has become a new paradigm in ways we communicate, learn, and educate.

Social platforms such as wikis, blogs, twitters, forums, groups,

podcasts, mashups, virtual worlds, and sites for social networking,

recommender systems, social bookmarking, social news, knowledge

sharing, etc. are generating novel ways we acquire, access,

manipulate, process, retrieve, present, and visualize information in

the teaching and learning space. The social media for education has

become dynamic, ubiquitous, distributed, real-time, collaborative,

bottom-up, many-to-many, value-based, and personalized. This workshop

solicits contributions on using Social Computing and related

technologies for education, the emerging applications of Web 2.0 as an

educational platform, as well as privacy, risk, security, and policy

issues associated in Social Computing for Education 2.0.

The one-day workshop will provide a forum for researchers from all

over the world to share information on their latest investigations in

theory and modeling of social computing, platforms, softwares,

technologies, experiments and development trend analysis, in

particular for education.

The workshop plans to have a keynote, invited talks, oral

presentations, poster presentations, and demos. Interested topics

include but not limited to:

* Theory and modeling of social computing in education

* Technology and software of social computing for education

* Social educational system design and architectures

* Case studies, best practices, and demos of social media in

education

* Assessment and evaluation of social computing in education

* Benchmark and experiments on social computing in education

* Quality and reliability of information and resources in social

media

* Software for social learning and collaborative learning

* Mobile learning applications for social computing

* Semantic web for d-learning, e-learning, and m-learning

* Virtual space for leaning communities

* Ubiquitous, distributed, and collaborative learning

* Integration of social learning spaces

* Social gaming/human computation for education

* Privacy, risk, security, and policy issues in education using

social media

* Web 2.0 and social computing for learning (media sharing, media

manipulation, conversational arenas, online games, virtual worlds,

social networking, blogging, social bookmarking, recommender systems,

collaborative editing, wikis, syndication, QA, etc.)

* Submission Deadline May 15, 2009

* Authors Notification June 5, 2009

* Final Manuscript Due June 15, 2009
