MLTA-SMD 2013 - The International Workshop on Modern Learning Technologies and Applications with Smart Mobile Devices

As mobile technology advances, smart mobile devices are fully capable of serving as all-in-one computing devices and continue to become more and more a part of our daily lives. A typical smart mobile device contains various software and hardware components that can offer a lot of potential educational applications by integrating with modern technologies. The increasing popularity of smart mobile devices leads to changes of learning environment, patterns and performance. The workshop aims at serving as a meeting point for researchers, educationist and practitioners to discuss state-of-the-art and in-progress researches, exchange ideas and share experiences about technological and pedagogical innovations in education.
Topics of interests include, but are not limited to
- Wireless, mobile and ubiquitous technologies in education
- Cloud learning systems and services
- Design and implementation of mobile Apps for learning
- NFC or RFID-based learning systems
- Location-Based Services (LBS) for learning
- Design or applications of natural language user interface for learning
- Social web/Web 2.0 applications for learning and teaching
- Semantic web/Web 3.0 applications for personalized learning
