Due to the popularity of the Internet, we are seeing more and more
sophisticated techniques as well as powerful applications being
developed for e-learning. The rapid development of Web-based
learning and new concepts like virtual classrooms, virtual
laboratories and virtual universities introduces many new issues
to be addressed. On the technical side, we need to develop
effective technology for supporting distance education. On the
learning and management side, we need to consider issues such
integrating the traditional learning model with the new e-learning
model and different system set-up requirements. Finally, the issue
of standardization of e-learning systems should also be
considered. In this special issue, we attempt to cover both
technical side and the learning and management side. We are also
interested in social and educational aspects of e-learning too. We
call for papers that present recent development on Internet
technologies and applications for e-learning.
Topics:
In this special issue, we call for original papers that describe
novel internet technologies that support distance education. Areas
of interests include, but are not limited to:
Distributed course-material databases, multi-modal query and Web document processing
Media server architectures, including peer-to-peer, multi-server and grid-based architectures
Techniques to support synchronous and asynchronous tutoring
Techniques to support collaborative and personalized learning
Security and privacy concerns in e-learning environments
Integration of multimedia information, including images / audios / videos / graphics
Integration of e-learning with traditional learning
Social and educational aspects of the technologies
Submission:
Each paper for submission should be formatted in double spacing,
single column of no more than 5000 words in length. Author
instructions can be found at the Author
Center of IEEE Internet
Computing. Prospective authors should submit their papers online through
the Manuscript Central at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ic-cs.
