Call For Participation
THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE LEARNING SCIENCES (ICLS-98)
December 16-19, 1998 Georgia Tech, Atlanta
EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 15TH
For registration, technical program, and other conference information, see: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/conferences/icls98
THE LEARNING SCIENCES: The field of the Learning Sciences is concerned with educational research from the dual perspectives of human cognition and computing techonologies, and the application of this research in three integrated areas:
DESIGN: Design of learning and teaching environments, including innovative curricula, multimedia, artificial intelligence, telecommunications technologies, and classroom activity structures for supporting learning and teaching.
COGNITION: Models of the structures and processes of learning and teaching by which organized knowledge, skills, and understanding are acquired.
SOCIAL CONTEXT: The social, organizational, and cultural dynamics of learning and teaching across the range of formal and informal settings.
Investigations in the Learning Sciences approach these issues from an interdisciplinary stance combining the traditional disciplines of computer science, cognitive science, and education.
The Third International Conference on the Learning Sciences (ICLS-98) will bring together experts from academia, research labs, and industry to discuss problems and issues regarding promoting learning in real-world situations. Insights into these problems will relate recent advances in our understanding of human learning and technological innovations in computing and related disciplines to the challenges posed by the real-world settings where learning occurs.
INVITED PLENARY SPEAKERS: Louis Gomez, Northwestern University Jan Hawkins, Center for Children and Technology Alan Kay, Disney Roy Pea, SRI International Mitchel Resnick, MIT Media Lab Roger Schank, Northwestern University Elliot Soloway, University of Michigan Kurt VanLehn, University of Pittsburgh
PROGRAM: The advance complete technical program is available online at: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/conferences/icls98/program.html
Hope to see you in Atlanta in December!
Regards,
The ICLS98 Conference Committee Amy Bruckman, Mark Guzdial, Janet Kolodner, and Ashwin Ram College of Computing, Georgia Institute of Technology
