PerEd 2010 - The Third Workshop on Pervasive Computing Education

CALL FOR PAPERS (with apologies for cross-postings):


PerEd 2010:
The Third Workshop on Pervasive Computing Education
http://mmis.informatik.uni-rostock.de/PerEd2010/

... held in conjunction with Ubicomp 2010
in Copenhagen, Denmark, September 26-29 2010


Research in ubiquitous and pervasive computing is multidisciplinary by nature.
Whereas this is clear in the context of bringing different sciences together
to construct and conduct new environments on the hardware, software and
engineering level, there are other interesting topics of discussion, which are
seldom addressed yet. We will focus in this workshop on: a) how can the
ubiquitous technology be used in educational settings (and for example does it
require new instructional design?) and b) does the use of ubiquitous
technology affect the way people learn? PerEd 2010 will provide a forum to
present and discuss topics like the state of the art, work in progress and
lessons learned, with respect to education within ubiquitous computing
environments and teaching the underlying technologies.

As its predecessors, the Third Workshop on Pervasive Computing Education is
organized around the following themes:
* Course content and approaches to teaching pervasive computing and related

topics;
* Lessons learned from courses;
* Teaching materials, including text books and web-based content;
* Concepts of structuring teaching material in a ubiquitous setting;
* Reports on the integration of research and teaching through projects;
* The use of pervasive computing tools, toolkits, and technology in education.

The workshop will include a variety of presentation formats to ensure
representation of mature innovations as well as on-going experiments and to
promote discussion and interaction. Submissions are sought for:
* Regular papers, which will be peer reviewed and published in a proceedings;
* Work-in-progress presentations;
* Technology Demonstrations;
* Position papers.
The goal of the workshop is to foster the young pervasive / ubiquitous
computing education community.
