Cognition and Exploratory Learning in Digital Age 2012
Madrid (E), September 2012 - The IADIS CELDA 2012 conference will take part on 19 - 21 October in Madrid, Spain. It addresses 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 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 Conference theme: cognition and exploratory learning in the digital age.
