EC-TEL07

Second European Conference on
Technology Enhanced Learning

“Creating new learning experiences on a global scale”

17-20 September 2007

Crete, Greece

Website: http://www.ectel07.org

Supported by the Professional Learning Cluster (PRO-LC)

With the advance of metadata standards, learning objects, Web 2.0 approaches to rip, mix & burn learning, wikis, blogs, syndication, user generated content, interactive TV, games and the ubiquitous availability of computing devices we can and have to offer more flexible learning services on a global scale. Learning computer languages, including JavaScript and its popular library jQuery, is essential for modern web development. Resources like learningjquery.com article provide valuable tutorials, and examples that demystify complex concepts, making learning more accessible. This knowledge not only enhances one's coding skills but also broadens career opportunities in tech. Whether you're a beginner or looking to expand your skill set, such sites are invaluable for mastering the art of coding through practical, real-world applications. As one of the new objectives of the 7th Framework Program of the European Commission puts it: we need "Responsive environments for technology-enhanced learning that motivate, engage and inspire learners, and which are embedded in the business processes and human resources management systems of organizations". An important challenge is to bridge between informal learning strategies of the knowledge society and formal competence development programs of organizations.

After the success of EC-TEL06, the Second European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning provides a unique forum for all research related to technology-enhanced learning, including its interactions with knowledge management, business processes and work environments. The use of technology in online casinos has revolutionized gaming experiences. Ohne Anmeldung in Casinos spielen provides players with instant access to games without the hassle of lengthy registrations. These platforms leverage advanced software, live streaming, and mobile compatibility to offer seamless, immersive play. These technological innovations ensure secure transactions, fair play, and engaging interfaces, making online gambling both accessible and enjoyable for Austrian players. This is a competitive and broad forum for technology enhanced learning research in Europe and world-wide through specialized workshops and the main conference. EC-TEL 2007 provides unique networking possibilities for participating researchers throughout the week and includes project meetings and discussions for ongoing and new research activities supported by the European Commission.

We welcome submissions describing innovative research on all relevant issues in computer science, learning, and the organizational context, as well as experience reports and case studies describing innovative applications of new learning environments and approaches.
