such as:
- training to usage of computer and technological tools to
aged or unwilling learners;
- education of communities who are geographically distributed
or live in remote areas;
- inclusion of people with temporary or permanent disabilities;
- learning in complex domains (e.g. mathematical/formal principles,
methodologies and techniques) and/or with critical target users
(e.g. students or practitioners with limited background);

* the Technology Enhanced Learning research area;

* the use of educational systems and methodologies in applications
that address problems of sustainable development, such as poverty
reduction.

Authors are invited to submit original research, position, survey or tool papers on any relevant topic.
These can be either regular or short papers.
Short papers can discuss new ideas which are at an early stage of development and which have not yet been thoroughly evaluated.

Learning Technologies and offers a unique opportunity to present outstanding
contributions, to discuss the hottest topics of the moment and to  introduce
colleagues to future Grand Challenges.

We invite you to submit outstanding workshop proposals on focused areas of
emerging new fields of research that are not adequately covered by the
themes of the main conference.

The 2 page proposals should clearly define workshop objectives, the expected
audience, anticipated outcomes, the tentative dates for the call for papers,

workshop reviewers, and the names and short CVs of workshop proposers.

workshop and manage the review process at their convenience. The URL of the
workshop has to be notified to the ICALT Workshops Chair(s) no later than

Once the review process has finished, the pre-accepted papers will be sent
