* Background

A number of developments have enhanced the role of technology in education, apart

from the reducing cost of bandwidth and computing equipment:

- The growth of the Internet

- The huge growth in content available over the Internet for free, in multimedia as

well in text form

- The move by leading universities to make their course material, in many cases

including video lectures, freely available

- Progress of standardization - going as far as the use of shared ontologies and

metadata in machine processable form to describe content

- The enormous impact of games on youth

- Recognition of Technology Enhanced Learning as a necessary component of

education at different levels. of education at different levels.

A variety of technological developments have made it possible to let a huge user

population benefit fully from the above developments, such as the semantic web,

ubiquitous and mobile access to Internet resources, and digital libraries.

The purpose of this Workshop is to bring together researchers in the relevant

technologies and interested academics to give presentations of research results
