* Conference background and goals

The IADIS CELDA 2013 conference aims to address the main issues concerned
with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications
in the digital age. There have been advances in both cognitive psychology
and computing that have affected the educational arena. The convergence of
these two disciplines is increasing at a fast pace and affecting academia
and professional practice in many ways. Paradigms such as just-in-time
learning, constructivism, student-centered learning and collaborative
approaches have emerged and are being supported by technological
advancements such as simulations, virtual reality and multi-agents systems.
These developments have created both opportunities and areas of serious
concerns. This conference aims to cover both technological as well as
pedagogical issues related to these developments. Main tracks have been
identified. However innovative contributions that do not easily fit into
these areas will also be considered as long as they are directly related to
the overall theme of the conference – cognition and exploratory learning in
the digital age.



* Format of the Conference

The conference will consist of invited talks and presentations for
discussion-oriented papers. The proceedings of the conference will be
published in the form of a book and CD-ROM. Authors of the best published
papers in the CELDA 2013 proceedings will be invited to publish extended
versions of their papers in a special issue of an international journal. An
edited volume based on additional papers is planned.



* Types of submissions

Full papers, short papers and reflection papers. All submissions go through
a double-blind refereeing process with at least two recognized experts.
