Multimedia technologies and networking infrastructure have

changed human social behavior. One typical example is

education. The impact of distance learning to traditional

universities in particular allows educational professionals to

rethink about how to efficiently and effectively apply

multimedia technologies to improve instruction, as well as to

encourage students to learn. Although multimedia technologies

have already been used widely in e-learning, various

considerations should be carefully addressed from both

pedagogical and technological perspectives, to ensure the

successful incorporation of these technologies in e-learning.

This ACM workshop aims to discuss problems, current studies,

and solutions in how to use multimedia and communication

technologies to improve e-learning. Especially, presentations

should address the difference between using and without using

multimedia technologies in education. Practical solutions are

encouraged, although pedagogical theories may be used to

support the solutions.

The first MTDL 2009 Workshop was held in Beijing, China,

followed by MTDL 2010, which was held in Firenze, Italy. This

is the third MTDL Workshop in the series.

The conference proceedings will be published by ACM. Topics of

interests include but are not limited to the following:

- Efficient Authoring Methods for Instruction Creation/Generation

- Management of Multimedia Learning Objects

- Multimedia Edutainment Technologies

- Multimedia Technologies for Collaborative Learning

- Multimedia Technologies for Mobile/Situated Learning

- Multimodal Interactions for e-Learning

- Game-based Learning

- Pedagogical Issues of using Multimedia Technologies in e-Learning

- Real-time Delivery of Multimedia Instructions

- Retrieval of Multimedia Learning Objects

- Server and System Architecture for Multimedia Instructions

- Usability Study of Multimedia Learning Objects
