http://www.icmla-conference.org/icmla09/
Description
With the rapid development of Web-based learning, a new set of learning environments including virtual classrooms, virtual laboratories and virtual universities are being developed. These new learning environments, however, also introduce new problems that need to be addressed. On the technical side, there is a need for the deployment of effective technologies on web-based education. On the learning side, the cyber mode of learning is very different from traditional classroom-based learning. Machine Learning techniques provide new challenges and solutions to problems in education and training and have found widespread applications in these domains. The aim of this special session is to invite researchers from various fields to discuss their approaches on education technology and training by using machine learning technologies and constructing intelligent learning environments.
Topics, but are not limited to
Fuzzy theory and neural net in education applications
Personalized mobile computing for learning and instruction
Social computing in education applications
