CALL FOR PAPERS - Special Issue on Multidisciplinary Applications and Future Trends of Learning Objects
Summary
One aspect of e-learning current receiving considerable attention is the Learning Object, i.e.,
an entity of learning capable of being reused in different instructional situations. Therefore,
Learning Objects are fundamental elements of a new conceptual model for content creation and
distribution. As a result, Learning Objects are one of the most significant promises in order to
increase and improve the effectiveness of learning process.
Submission Procedure
Prospective authors should follow the author's rules promoted by the IEEE Multidisciplinary
Engineering Education Magazine (MEEM). For this special issue paper submissions should be at least
six (6) pages in length and must not exceed 10 A4 pages including texts, references, appendices,
and figures. Instructions dealing with paper format should follow the guidelines for regular
IEEE MEEM papers. More details about the submission procedure are available at the IEEE MEEM
Web page.
Scope
This special issue seeks innovative technical papers on all aspects of multidisciplinary
applications and future trends of Learning Objects (LO). Papers are welcome in any
multidisciplinary area concerning innovative methods and tools for managing LO. Topics include
but are not limited to:
- State of the art (surveys, taxonomies, future trends of LO on e-Learning, mobile-learning, television learning, etc.
- Full studes about LO impact on engineering educationl fields (use cases with Bologna process, European Higher Education Area, other experiences with higher educational frameworks)
- Design, implementation and delivery of LO (methodologies, tools, standards, etc.)
- Reusability of LO (Quality assessment, metadata description, granularity, design, repositories, prototypes, standards, evaluation, etc.)
- Semantic Web-based standards for LO (Educational ontologies, knowledge representation, ontology engineering, metadata semantic services)
- Performance studies on Learning Management Systems (LMS, authoring tools, testbeds, evaluation, etc.)
- Design and evaluation of social LO (wikis, blogs, social networks, multilingual and multicultural issues, etc.)
All submitted papers will undergo a peer review process. Thus, a number of prominent professors and experience practitioners in multidisciplinary fields of LO research will review the submissions.
Important Dates
Manuscript Submission Deadline: September 7, 2009
Acceptance Notification: October 15, 2009
Final Manuscript Due: November 15, 2009
Expected Publication Date: December 2009

IEEE EDUCATION SOCIETY STUDENT ACTIVIES COMMITTEE (EdSocSAC)
The IEEE Education Society (ES) has had the initiative of creating a Student Activities Committee (SAC). Initially, a team of around ten ES student-members have been involved in defining different aspects of the SAC, under the guidance of Dr. Rob Reilly and the advice of other ES members.
With this formation of the SAC comes the need to provide services that reflect students' point of view. This subject has been discussed for several weeks by the team via e-mail and lately in life-meetings over Skype - a voice-to-internet service.
The IEEE Multidisciplinary Engineering Education Magazine (MEEM) is the official magazine of the IEEE Education Society Student Activities Committee (EdSocSAC) and is published quarterly, whose primary objective is to facilitate the publication of students' papers, and also of educators, whose works can influence the scientific preparation of pre-college students, as well as young educators.
