Ubiquitous Learning Places &

5th International Workshop on Social and Personalized Computing for Web

Supported Learning Communities

http://www.mifav.uniroma2.it/inevent/events/dulpspel/index.php

in conjunction with ICALT 2012

The 12th International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies

http://www.scuolaiad.it/ICALT2012/

Rome, Italy

4-6 July 2012

Background

The proposed workshop is the result of merging the experience and

background of two workshops centered on ubiquitous personalization and

future visions in TEL: DULP and SPeL. Both workshops have as core topic

the personalization of learning experiences as well as the future

development of personalized learning environments. DULP stands for D ->

Design Inspired Learning; U -> Ubiquitous Learning; L -> Liquid Learning

Places; P -> Person in Place Centered Design, thus summarizing and

bringing together a number of current trends and researchers. DULP started

as a national effort in Rome, Italy, in 2009; after the first steps, an

international community has been built, and a series of workshops started

at ICALT 2010 and continued at ICALT 2011. The SPeL workshop has as

general topic the social and personal computing for web-supported learning

communities, leading towards the creation of a truly social and adaptive

learning environment. The workshop has been held during the last 4 years

in conjunction with the SAINT 2008, WI/IAT 2009, DEXA 2010 and ICWL 2011

conferences respectively.

Topics of Interest

technologies and future of TEL, especially in the areas of personalized,

social and ubiquitous learning, particularly related to:
