1. A brief description of the workshop topic

Increasingly, technology enhanced learning (or TEL) scenarios are conceived in an integrated perspective beyond certain pieces of software running on single computers and also beyond web-based learning environments for single users. New ideas are centered around combining different software tools, web resources and also new peripherals (non standard hardware such as smart objects and mobile devices) in a way that improves \"educational workflows\", avoiding discontinuities in the learning processes and in the creation, transformation, aggregation and re-use of learning objects. Classroom, Mobile and Ubiquitous Technologies Enhanced Learning (CUMTEL) are the concrete manifestation of this trend. The potential prevalence of CUMTEL suggests that, in the forthcoming years, there will be a considerable adoption effort of technological innovations in educational practices.

The aim of this work is to provide a forum where international participants can share knowledge on the latest developments in CUMTEL and map out directions for future developments and research collaborations. The series of CUMTEL, the former name was MULE (Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning Environments), workshops started in Beijing, China, December, 2006, at ICCE2006 and the 2nd workshop was held in Hong Kong, August 2007. The 3rd workshop took place in Hiroshima Japan, in November 2007 at ICCE2007 and the 4th workshop was a doctoral student consortium in Taiwan at ICCE2008 in October 2008. CUMTEL 2009 was held in Tokushima, March 26-28, 2009. This will be the 6th workshop on CUMTEL.

Basic themes and topics:

ï?? . Extending awareness and contextualisation in CUMTEL

ï?? . Integration of CUMTEL into broader teaching/learning processes

ï?? . Intelligent support for CUMTEL (user modelling, profiling, ...)

ï?? . Artificial agents or robots in CUMTEL (architectures, examples, techniques, ...)

ï?? . Game design in CUMTEL

ï?? . Emotional design and motivational support in CUMTEL

ï?? . Domain specific applications (e.g., language learning, mathematics)

ï?? . Experimental usage and evaluation of CUMTEL

ï?? . Theories of mobile and ubiquitous learning
