Scope

Open technology and open standards play inevitable role in today’s growth of ICT-based education. Open technology and open standards are not just technical components but provide an open infrastructure to share open knowledge to evolve technology enhanced education. Based on this point of view, this workshop will provide an opportunity to share information on the cutting edge activities such as R&D towards open technology and standards, open system implementation based on the open standards, application and practice of open knowledge sharing on open technology-based platforms, open knowledge exchange between e-learning and neighboring field such as e-Books, games, digital libraries, knowledge management, human resource development, and informal learning based on the open technology and standards.

The scope of the workshop will cover but will not be limited to:

l Novel R&D activities and standards towards games, simulations, etc.

l E-Learning system architecture, framework, platforms and tools based on standards,

l Content repositories and open content,

l Standards and various e-learning paradigms including collaborative learning, scenario-based learning, etc.

l Technologies to enhance open knowledge sharing such as ontologies, knowledge management tools, Web2.0 technology, etc.

l Practice of open knowledge sharing and knowledge management in open community,

l Integration or collaboration of e-Learning and neighboring field such as e-books, games, digital libraries, knowledge management, human resource development, etc.

l Issues relevant to e-learning standards such as quality assurance, accessibility, privacy, intellectual property rights, human-centered system design, etc.
