                        Call For Papers

              "Educational Technology & Society"
                       (ISSN 1436-4522)

             http://zeus.gmd.de/ifets/periodical/

Educational  Technology & Society seeks academic  articles  on the issues
affecting the developers of educational systems and educators who implement
and manage such systems. The  articles should discuss the perspectives of
both communities and  their relation to each other:

* Educators  aim  to use technology to enhance  individual learning as well
  as to achieve widespread education and expect the  technology to blend
  with their individual approach to instruction. However, most educators
  are not fully aware of the  benefits that may be obtained by proactively
  harnessing the  available technologies and how they might  be  able  to
  influence further developments through systematic feedback and suggestions.

* Educational system developers and artificial intelligence (AI)  researchers
  are sometimes unaware of the needs and requirements of typical teachers,
  with a possible exception of those  in  the computer science domain. In
  transferring  the notion of a 'user' from the human-computer interaction
  studies and assigning it to the 'student', the educator's role as the
  'implementer/  manager/  user' of the  technology  has  been forgotten.

The  aim  of  the periodical is to help them better understand each other's
role in the overall process of education and how they may support each other.
The articles should be original, unpublished,   and  not  in  consideration
for publication elsewhere at the time of submission to Educational Technology
& Society.

The submissions are invited for the following sections:

1. Peer reviewed publications
All submitted articles for this category will be refereed by at least two
reviewers with expertise in the relevant subject area.

2. Updates

implementations, software reviews, project overviews and any other material of
interest to the educators and developers of educational systems. The items in
this section will not be reviewed, but the editors reserve the right to reject
or (with the approval of contributors) to edit copy.
