Call For Papers - CFP

Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, collectively known as STEM, are particularly challenging academic disciplines. A recent decline in graduates from these areas has slowly prompted an overhaul in the way educators approach these subjects. A slow but steady inclusion of technology-based educational solutions has facilitated the way students approach and conquer these subjects.

eLEOT 2015 will focus on e-learning initiatives related to STEM disciplines. We are looking for contributions that range from innovative ways to present information, to mobile-based interactive technologies simulating experiments, to methodologies to manage and study student performance from the back-end, and many more topics. We will also feature space for demonstrations and interactive sessions.

This conference is designed to allow for the maximum interaction among participants. Our goal is to foster and support communication among researchers, practitioners, and students. We believe that only through presenting our work and discussing it formally and informally with others we can not only share our knowledge effectively, but also cultivate and improve our own ideas. eLEOT 2015 is architected completely around this belief.

HIGHLIGHTS

The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT.

eLEOT 2015 will be collocated with the International Conference on Serious Games, Interaction and Simulation, SGames 2015.

All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries.

Online track ? eLEOT welcomes submissions from presenters who will not be able to attend the conference in person. To be able to participate through this track you will be required to meet the date, topic and publication requirements for the main conference. Participation to this track is limited to 20 accepted papers

ONLINE TRACK

eLEOT 2014 welcomes submissions from presenters who will not be able to attend the conference in person. To be able to participate through this track you will be required to meet the date, topic and publication requirements for the main conference. Upon acceptance of your submission, you will be required to submit a video presentation as well as a PowerPoint presentation to distribute to all who are present. Your video will be shown during the main conference. If you wish to present your work directly to the audience, you can call in through Skype and present that way. Online conference participants will be able to view all the presentations through the "Uniecampus Live Stream" system, offered by Università degli Studi eCampus.

Participation to this track is limited to 20 accepted papers.

STUDENT TRACK

We also invite papers for a special student (Masters or PhD) track that will provide a venue for students to present their work and receive feedback from senior members of the research community. Student papers may include thesis plans, proposed research, as well as partial or complete research results already obtained. Papers should clearly state the stage at which the candidate is at in their PhD or Master (i.e. number of years of study completed), and should follow the regular conference format. Each paper will be reviewed by selected members of the program committee. Please select the appropriate track when submitting your work at http://confy.eai.eu/.

DEMO SESSION

eLEOT 2015 will feature a Demo Session dedicated to showcasing the work featured in the presentations. Any author whose work will be accepted for presentation at eLEOT 2015 will be able to set up a demonstration of their work. The hosting organization will not provide computers, so if you are planning on showcasing your project during the Demo Session please bring your own equipment. You will be contacted at the time of acceptance regarding your interest in exhibiting your work during the Demo Session. All conference participants are invited to attend.

PANELS

The first International Conference on e-Learning, e-Education and Online Training is soliciting panels for the 2015 conference. Panels give the community a unique opportunity to bring together academics and professionals from a wide variety of backgrounds to discuss a common theme.

PAPER SUBMISSION
