July 9-10 (TBD) Workshop held at Memphis, TN
This workshop is the continuation of a couple of workshops on Social
Inclusion and Learning Technolgies in the Developing World (at AIED
2011 and ICALT 2011), and aims to provide a forum for discussion
about sensible introduction of learning technologies in the developing
world and cross-cultural differences between countries, across and
within developed and developing countries. Focus of the workshop is to
explore a variety of aspects related to LT4D, and invites paper
submissions that will address one or more of these topics:
1) Cross-cultural differences in educational outcomes of AIED systems
or non-adaptive learning technologies across countries, developing vs.
developed, or across developing countries.
2) Ideas to solve issues of economic cost of adapting technologies to
developing countries
3) Examples of Localization and Cultural translation of systems and interfaces
4) Issues of Inclusion: how to encourage and support both individuals
and communities that are marginalized --economically, socially, or
culturally
5) Science of sustainable design of learning technologies for the
developing world; Sustainability of projects; funding sources; ideas
for maintaining technology resources and personnel
6) How education and technology is used in the developing world; how
is or should it be used? As a means? As an end?
7) Supporting Teacher Training via e-Learning in developing countries
8) How can Educational Data Mining help to support education and
reveal information that would help developing countries' education
9) Differences in realities and possibilities of implementation of
Interactive Learning Environments (ILEs) across the developing world?
Is there a common ground, or are countries too different from each
other?
10) Issues of timing: Are there key areas where learning technologies
can have an immediate impact?
11) Models of adoption (or non-adoption) of learning technologies in
the developing world; an analysis of great successes or drastic
failures in applying ILEs to the developing world
12) Opportunities for leap frogging and avoiding mistakes from the
developed world
