IADIS International Conference on
Cognition and
Exploratory Learning in Digital Age (CELDA 2008) The
IADIS CELDA 2008 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. *
