JETDE volume 5 Issue 2 is available （期刊出版）

Dear SICET members and friends,

 

I hope you have a great time at the end of the term and enjoy this wonderful holiday season. I am writing to inform you that JETDE Volume 5, Issue 2 2012 was just published and is available at: http://www.sicet.org/journals/jetde/jetde.html and http://jetde.theti.org/evaluate/info.do?columnId=1169. I sincerely hope that you will enjoy reading these research studies and share our journals with your colleagues and students. You may want to ask your school library to include our journal in your digital library for your students access since our journal is open to the public and free for subscription. It is a great recourse for IT students. If you need hard copies for your university library, you can contact me (in US) or Dr. Yun Mo (outside US) so that we can send you the hard copies when the new issue is published. At the same time, you are very welcome to submit your finished research paper to our own journal. You are also welcome to become a guest editor if you have a research theme which you want to contribute to our journal just like Dr. Jiangang Cheng, Dr. Nian-Shing Chen, Dr. Tim Newby and Dr. John Button in the past two issues. We are planning to publish four issues in 2013. Your support in any possible way is greatly appreciated.

Congratulations ETC Alumni, Jerome Tsosie's achievement

Call for Papers - International Council for Educational Media Conference 2013

ICEM2013

we-Learning: Content, Community and Collaboration

Authors are invited  to submit abstracts and participate in the 63rd International Council for Educational Media (ICEM) Conference that will be held in Singapore from 1 – 4 October 2013.

The late 1990s saw the emergence of e-Learning.  Many schools and institutions have embarked on campus-wide initiatives that comprised content-driven and technology-enhanced pedagogy until the advent of Web 2.0. Now, however, the educational model is undergoing a complete change of approach and both the blended learning model and participative learning have become more possible and meaningful, especially when combined with the changing profile of Gen Y students.

 

The conference theme ‘we-Learning: Content, Community and Collaboration’ recognises these pervasive and rapid changes that are having a profound impact on education and society.  Education at all levels plays a central role in shaping the way these changes affect the economy, society and a new generation of knowledge workers.  Knowledge and content are now a touch away and the new classroom has no physical boundaries. People and resources are linked across borders allowing for new types of collaboration.  What does this mean for learning and teaching in tertiary education? This conference explores the paradigm shift from e-Learning to we-Learning, and the broad consequences for education in a changing world.
