[AISWorld] Call for Papers - WTS2013 – 12th WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYMPOSIUM, April 17-19, 2013, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

[Benjamin Kok Khoo]

Dear Colleagues

Your paper submission is solicited for the  Track: Wireless Applications in Education and Pedagogy, at WTS 2013.

A brief cfp for the track is below:
The advent of wireless technology has caused a paradigm shift in the world, not only in day-to-day living, business, mass media, organizations or business but is beginning to affect education and pedagogy. The miniaturization of electronic devices and the convergence of technologies into portable devices and the smartphone have resulted in accessibility to all. These trends can transform the educational world. How have these trends affected the learning environment, pedagogy, educational structure, delivery systems, teachers/students, campus life, etc? To answer this question and other related questions, this track provides an avenue for researchers and developers to submit papers for review, presentation, discussion and ultimately, publication.  Selected best papers from the Mobile/Wireless applications in Education/Pedagogy track will be invited to be extended and expedited through a review process for publication in the International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education. (Track Chair: Dr Benjamin Khoo)
