APOLOGIES FOR CROSS POSTING We want to publicise our event as widely as possible and this will inevitably mean some of our recipients will receive this message more than once. We hope you will accept our apologies for this inconvenience. DIVERSE 2008 Conference: first call for proposals Developing Innovative Visual Resources for Students Everywhere 8th International Conference @ INHOLLAND UNIVERSITY The DIVERSE Conference Committee would like to invite you to the DIVERSE Conference on 1-3 July 2008. This year's event is hosted by INHOLLAND University based in Haarlem, the Netherlands and the international DIVERSE network. DIVERSE is the leading conference regarding all aspects of video and videoconferencing in education: teaching, research, management etc. This includes the convergence of these technologies with online technologies; the emergence of new possibilities such as "presence production" for learning, interactive television, virtual reality and computer games techniques, and handheld access to moving images. DIVERSE is intended for anyone interested in embedding video and video communication (conferencing) technologies within educational practice: teachers, technical support staff, researchers, staff and educational developers and project managers. DIVERSE provides excellent opportunities for formal and informal networking with experts in the field from all over the globe. The conference will be both a showcase and a critical forum on all aspects of video in education through plenary and themed sessions. The sessions will consist of academic papers, poster presentations and best practice presentations accepted by the conference committee. Papers are welcome from practitioners and academics in all relevant disciplines. Furthermore, a limited number of 90-minute panel sessions will be included in the programme. We are particularly interested in contributions that offer empirical studies of experiences within one of the following four tracks: Track 1: Pedagogy and assessment * Pedagogical theory about the use of video in teaching and learning * Evaluation of teaching effectiveness using video in teaching and learning * Digital course content and course (re)design * Learning through production * NETgen learning: how young people learn using social software and other emerging technologies * Engaging and supporting learners by using visual media and videoconferencing Track 2 Tools and content oriented applications * Emerging technologies and their impact on teaching and learning * Collaboration and interaction: peer production and community-based learning * Virtual worlds and gaming in teaching and learning * Multimedia/Hypermedia applications in teaching and learning * Repositories: audiovisual archiving, metadata standardisation and retrieval Track 3 Projects and cases: implementation and sustainability * Best practices for teaching and learning with digital content * Video in learning management systems and E-portfolios * Videoconferencing, Voice over IP, and collaborative thinking applications * Next-generation infrastructure and security management * Video content development * Reducing costs by using video and video conferencing * International collaboration in the field of visual media and videoconferencing Track 4 People and technology: societal aspects * Communication technology for sustainable development (language and culture) * Accessibility issues in the use of physical and/or digital space * Intellectual property rights and open access * Cultural attitudes and technology acceptance * Media literacy The last day for extended abstract submissions is February 11th, 2008.
