CSCL&AIED 2012 - The Taiwan National Workshop on Computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and artificial intelligence in education (AIED)

Computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) and artificial intelligence in education (AIED) are two major fields in the studies about how we may apply modern technologies, scientific findings, and social science theories to assist learning and teaching. We invite researchers and practitioners to participate in this conference to share and exchange their experience and ideas about the fields. In addition, we hope that attendees will discover chances of collaborations in the gatherings. This 2012 conference plans to host two keynote speeches and six panel discussions in both CSCL and AIED, so should provide a premier and rewarding forum for the CSCL and AIED communities.
