SCOPE
The Special Session on Collaborative e-Learning Systems (CeLS) aims to bring together researchers and practitioners working in innovative pedagogical strategies adapted to group-based e-learning. e-learning has become an important business process for corporations, as well as for universities. Despite all the recent activity, models for how people teach and learn online are still immature. Often e-learning systems fail due to the lack of attention and the lack of commitment of the users to maximize the results of the learning process through the software system.
Learning Communities have become a recognized paradigm for solving this problem but some attributes are still overlooked. In particular it is important to realize that in a community there is a measure of commitment to a set of shared values, norms, and meanings and a shared history and identification within a particular culture. Yet, personalization is required in each individual learning process.
CeLS encourages authors to submit papers describing original work based on diverse perspectives related to collaborative e-Learning, including methods, techniques, recent advances, applications and tools.
