Computer-based communication is one of the most fundamental changes in communication technology in the last 150 years. The proliferation of the personal computer combined with the Internet has caused far-reaching changes in society. Electronic communications and digital networks are transforming the way we work and the way we learn. However, since communication is at the heart of all forms of educational interaction, it is likely that its impact on education systems and individual teachers and learners will grow even faster in the future. In this context, e-learning has enlarged its scope, including the use of web-based teaching materials and hypermedia in general, multimedia CD-ROMs or web sites, discussion boards, collaborative software, e-mail, blogs, wikis, computer aided assessment, educational animation, simulations, games, learning management software, electronic voting systems and more, with possibly a combination of different methods being used.

The workshop will accept submissions on all aspects of e-Learning with a special emphasis on those directly connected with the use of Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technologies in supporting computer science teaching and learning.

Papers on the practice of teaching computer science and computer science education research are also welcome.

The workshop topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Theory: General & Cross-Domain Corporate Government Health Care Higher Education Informal Learning (Communities, Homes) K-12 Libraries and Museums Military Professional Associations & Non-Profits
