VIDLATEL 2009 - VIDLATEL ¡ª International Workshop on Visual Design Languages and Applications for Technology Enhanced Learning in conjunction with IEEE ICALT 2009

VIDLATEL ¡ª International Workshop on Visual Design Languages and Applications for Technology Enhanced Learning in conjunction with IEEE ICALT 2009,
July 14-18, 2009, Riga, Latvia

Topics
The workshop intends to bring together researchers and practitioners from relevant communities (instructional design, instructional development, educational multimedia, technology-enhanced learning, learning design, etc.) to share their knowledge, ideas, results, expertise and research about interdisciplinary approaches to visual design for TEL. The workshop solicits original papers that present promising approaches and applications in the following areas:
Visual TEL design languages and notation systems
Visual TEL design applications and authoring tools
Narrative design for TEL
User studies and case studies involving visual design languages and applications in TEL
Computational modeling in TEL design
Human factors in visual design for TEL
Pattern-based visual design for TEL
Meta-models for TEL design
Integration of TEL design languages and metadata, including standards
Visual design interfaces, e.g. to TEL-related standards and platforms
Other topics of relevance to the workshop theme
