WBE 2013 - The 10th IASTED International Conference on Web-based Education ~WBE 2013~

The Web has transformed and expanded the boundaries of conventional education. Web-based learning environments such as virtual colleges, laboratories, and universities have generated a wealth of new educational strategies and technical innovations worthy of critical attention and discussion. These innovations include new hardware and software technology, online testing and assessment, training and teaching applications, and courseware design and development.
WBE 2013 will provide an opportunity for scholars, faculty, researchers, and administrators in all areas of Web-based education to convene with colleagues from approximately 50 countries to discuss innovative ideas and research results in the new and exciting field of Web-based education.
All papers submitted to this conference will be double-blind evaluated by at least two reviewers. Papers will be evaluated on the originality of ideas and approaches presented, the uniqueness and completeness of research, and the significance of the contribution to the area of study.
