SCOPE
DET 2011 focuses on creative solutions on distance education. It combines several advanced topics on design, implementation, and applications of E-learning systems. Submissions may cover novel approaches on distance learning tools, communication mechanisms, distance learning and culture, new educational technologies, distance learning, serious game, simulation, and the arts, and so on. Our special attention will be devoted to intelligent tools in various distance education systems.
This workshop is being held in conjunction with 17th International Conference on Distributed Multimedia Systems (DMS 2011) http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms11.html
Presenters of selected papers from DET 2011 will be invited to submit an extended article to aspecial issue of International Journal of Distance Education Technologies (IJDET) for publication.
