ISML-VIP 2012
International Symposium on Mobile Learning for Visually Impaired People
CNR - Institute for Education Technologies, Palermo, Italy
25 May 2012
Overview
The Italian National Research Council - Institute for Education Technologies - Palermo department is pleased to announce the 1st International Symposium on Mobile Learning for Visually Impaired People (ISML-VIP 2012) that will be held in Palermo, 25 May 2012.The ISML-VIP 2012 is organized within the VODIE - Vocational Education of Visually Impaired People via Distance Education project. The VODIE is a two year project, founded with support from European Commission within the Lifelong Learning Programme, Multilateral Project, Leonardo Da Vinci.
The main topic of the International Symposium is the use of mobile technologies for learning, with special attention to applications for visually impaired users. For this to happen, the main aim of the ISML-VIP will be to investigate the importance as well as limits of the mobile technologies for learning for visually impaired people. Several studies have evaluated mobile and wireless technologies as being particularly suited to the implementation of learning settings; in addition, the scientific community has highlighted that mobile learning could be a suitable methodology to support specific learning needs and methodologies.
We welcome original papers no longer than 8 pages describing research or innovative practice, and demonstrations. ISML-VIP invites participation and submissions from researchers and practitioners with an interest in techniques, tools, and technology for improving mobile learning accessibility over a wide range of areas, including the following:
- HCI education
- Accessility and Usability of Mobile Learning Solution for Visually Impaired People
- Mobile Web Accessibility
- Mobile interaction accessibility
- Innovative applications and user interfaces, including mobile application, multimedia, and adaptive interfaces
- Ambient and highly mobile devices (PDAs, wearable computers)
- User interface architectures, tools, techniques, and technology
- Accessibility and evaluations
- Pedagogical approaches, models and theories for Mobile Learning
A panel of experts and the chairs of the conference will review each proposal. The review process will be highly competitive. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN number. For more information, see the call for papers
Participants will receive a copy of the Proceedings (Booklet).
