Doctoral Student Consortia

19th International Conference on Computers in Education 2011

http://www.nectec.or.th/icce2011/callForPapers/cfp...

November 28, 2011 (Monday) to December 2, 2011 (Friday)

Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Organized by the Asia-Pacific Society for Computers in Education

http://apsce.net/

Hosted by National Electronics and Computer Technology Center,

Thailand

http://www.nectec.or.th

The Doctoral Student Consortia are held in conjunction with ICCE 2011
and is organized to bring together PhD students working in the areas of:

C1 : ICCE Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education/Intelligent

Tutoring System (AIED/ITS) and Adaptive Learning
C2 : ICCE Conference on Computer-supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL)

and Learning Sciences
C3 : ICCE Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies, Open Contents,

and Standards
C4 : ICCE Conference on Classroom, Ubiquitous, and Mobile Technologies

Enhanced Learning (CUMTEL)
C5 : ICCE Conference on Game and Toy Enhanced Learning

and Society (GTEL&S)
C6 : ICCE Conference on Technology, Pedagogy and Education

The event aims to provide an opportunity for a selected number of PhD
students to present, discuss and receive feedbacks on their dissertation
work-in-progress from their peers and a panel of established researchers
in the similar areas they are working. These consortia are meant for
students to shape their research methodologies and analysis. As such,
the student should not be too close to completing their research that
the workshop would have little impact on their research work.
Each accepted submission of the DSC will be published in the ICCE 2011
Doctoral Student Consortium proceedings.

Objectives

- Provide feedback on participants' current research approach and

methodology;

- Provide guidance on future research directions;

- Provide theme-based forums for discussing methodological and

theoretical issues of central importance to different DSC themes;

- Nurture a supportive learning community by promoting interaction

between young researchers from various institutions and across

different countries in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

Requirements and Submission Guidelines
