* Conference background and goals

The IADIS CELDA 2010 conference aims to address the main issues

concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies

and applications in the digital age. There have been advances in both

cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the educational

arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is increasing at a

fast pace and affecting academia and professional practice in many

ways. Paradigms such as just-in-time learning, constructivism, student-

centered learning and collaborative approaches have emerged and are

being supported by technological advancements such as simulations,

virtual reality and multi-agents systems. These developments have

created both opportunities and areas of serious concerns. This

conference aims to cover both technological as well as pedagogical

issues related to these developments. Main tracks have been

identified. However innovative contributions that do not easily fit

into these areas will also be considered as long as they are directly

related to the

overall theme of the conference ? cognition and exploratory learning

in the digital age.

* Format of the Conference

The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations

for discussion-oriented papers. The proceedings of the conference will

be published in the form of a book and CD-ROM.

Authors of the best published papers in the CELDA 2010 proceedings

will be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in a

special issue of an international journal.

* Types of submissions
