CALL FOR PAPERS: MIT LINC 2007
MIT’s Learning International Networks Consortium (LINC) is a community of practitioners and scholars whose purpose is to share best practices and to learn from each other’s mistakes, in order to move forward with successful distance learning projects in higher education in their respective countries. LINC conferences bring together educational innovators from around the world – the majority from developing countries – seeking to learn best practices, to share case studies and to identify emerging technologies (software and hardware) that can make their distance learning systems better. Proceedings of the first three LINC conferences can be downloaded here. The 2007 LINC conference in Jordan aims to bring together international experts involved in the delivery of technology-enabled learning and ‘e-learning’ to emerging regions of the world, especially to underserved communities. There will be two major focuses at the conference this year: cross-border collaboration in e-learning; and technology-enabled education as a catalyst for positive educational change. The educational levels largely under discussion will be secondary (high school) and tertiary (college and university). While the conference has a number of very distinguished invited plenary speakers, we have reserved 30 places on the agenda for superlative contributed papers. This CALL FOR PAPERS is soliciting those contributions. Authors whose papers are not accepted for one of the 30 slots will be encouraged to present their work in a paper fair. Suggested Topics
Papers must be written in English. An electronic version (PDF or MS Word format) of the full paper should be submitted via email to lincpapers "at" mit.edu. Manuscript must include a 200-word abstract and no more than 10 pages of double-spaced text (including figures and references). Papers submitted
to MIT LINC 2007 will be reviewed electronically.
