CALL FOR PAPERS DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM at the 11th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies http://www.ask4research.info/icalt/2011/doctoral_consortium.php Athens, Georgia, USA July 6-8, 2011 ***Deadline for submissions: February 1, 2011*** What is the Doctoral Consortium? ******************************** The Doctoral Consortium is a workshop for Ph.D. students from all over the world who are in the early phases of their dissertation work (i.e., in their first or second year). The goal of the Doctoral Consortium is to help students with their thesis and research plans by providing feedback and general advice on using the research environment in a constructive and international atmosphere. The Doctoral Consortium provides PhD students with the opportunity to meet and discuss with experts in their area. Students will present and discuss their thesis in the context of a well-known and established international conference outside of their usual university environment. Up to 10 Ph.D. students will have the opportunity to participate. Students will be required to pay the registration fees of the ICALT Conference (student rates). The Doctoral Consortium will consist of 3 sessions. The first session aims at giving students the chance to present their work to others and get familiar with the work of other PhD students in their area. Each PhD student will give a very brief presentation (about 3 minutes) about his/her work with focus on motivation and research problem. These presentations are followed by a poster exhibition where individual discussion about each student's work will take place. The third session aims at giving students feedback from an expert in their area and let them discuss their work with him/her as well as with few other PhD students doing research in the respective area. After the notification of acceptance/rejection, each PhD student with an accepted paper will be assigned to a small group consisting of 3-4 PhD students and one expert in their area. Each group will start to communicate and exchange their papers so that all members of the group are familiar with the papers of each group member. During the third session, each small group will meet individually. PhD students will give a short presentation about their work (about 10 minutes; 3 slides: Motivation/Background, what have been done already, and what will be done in future). After each presentation, group discussion will take place where each student can discuss his/her work with the expert and with other PhD students. Call for Papers and Topics ************************** Submissions relating to any aspect of Advanced Learning Technologies research, development, and evaluation are welcomed, focusing on the main themes of ICALT2011.
