VEWAeL 2009 Proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society Press

and on-line via IEEE XPlore Digital Library together with ICIW 2009. IEEE

will index the papers with major indexes. Authors of selected papers will

be invited to submit extended versions to one of the IARIA Journals.

Submissions

Submission deadline: December 10, 2008

We welcome technical papers presenting research, practical results and

case studies, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific

proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in

industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and

solutions on any of the topics of interest, short papers on work in

progress, and panel proposals.

The topics suggested by the workshop can be discussed in term of concepts,

state of the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and

applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers,

which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the

following, but not limited topic areas.

Industrial presentations and legal case studies are not subject to these

constraints. We expect short and long presentations that express

industrial/legal position and status.

Topics

During the last years, different web applications based on the use of

Internet environments have been introduced to help teachers and students

in the learning-teaching process. These web applications, mainly supported

by Internet systems and services, are changing the traditional educational

process not only in Higher Education (HE) qualifications, but also in open

learning for any type of course. Nowadays, there exist different public

and commercial Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) aimed at helping

teachers to manage courses and contents, as well as to support the

students' learning process. In this sense, VLE are an important factor

contributing towards the change from traditional educational methodologies

to new paradigms including active teaching. This implies not only a shift

in the way of tackling learning and teaching, but also new challenges for

software engineers and developers. Virtual Learning Environments have to

be built bearing in mind their mandatory use through the Internet, thus

requiring important characteristics and capabilities such as security,

good latency, several tools for interoperability, storage management, etc.

Topics include (but are not limited to):

E-Learning

Web Technologies and Tools for Educational Purposes Services for

E-Learning Platforms Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) Course Management

Systems Web applications for Teaching Social Implications of E-Learning

Lifelong E-learning Teaching-Learning Experiences using the Internet for

Educational Purposes E-learning in the European Higher Education Area

(EHEA) and other HE contexts Web protocols for VLE Security for VLE QoS

for VLE Storage management in VLE
