International Conference: "Transformations in the Cultural and Media Industries (CMI)"
International Conference
"Transformations in the Cultural and Media Industries (CMI)"
September 25, 26 and 27, 2006, Paris
Since the end of the eighties the Cultural and Media Industries have
undergone profound change. This has given rise occasionally to some
rather spectacular phenomena, which have received extensive attention
in the media, and been commented on by "experts", policy makers and
economic decision-makers. Among the themes which have been most
frequently discussed one might mention notably: the move towards
deregulation; the various huge merger operations bringing together
industrial groups and financial centres which have lead, against a
background of globalisation, to an unprecedented degree of
concentration; the flow of ideas and players around the notion of
cultural exception and cultural diversity; the development of new
cultural, informational or communication products accessible via the
Internet or via mobile telephones or similar tools; movements opposed
to existing commercial offers marked by the development of small
structures of production targeted at micro - markets but also by the
development of piracy; shift in the balance between content
providers, software manufacturers, hardware manufacturers and network
operators; the development of types of content, such as "reality
television", which have appeared in Europe over the last few years.
How should these developments be interpreted? Do they in fact
constitute a major transformation? An examination of the current
research into the Culture Industry, whether from the point of view of
economics, law, sociology, political science, history, philosophy or
communication and information sciences, the number of widely
differing and contradictory approaches to the same issues is
striking. A process needs to be launched which will end the current
dispersal of existing studies. A new framework is needed.
This is therefore the main objective of the international symposium
on transformations in the Cultural and Media Industries organized the
25, 26 and 27 September 2006 at the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme,
Paris Nord.

CFP: First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning
See http://www.ectel06.org/ for more info.
Call for Papers
First European Conference on
Technology Enhanced Learning
Innovative Approaches for Learning and Knowledge Sharing
Crete, Greece - October 1-4, 2006
Organized by the PRO-LC Cluster
URL: http://www.ectel06.org
With the shift towards the knowledge society, changing working conditions
and the continuous evolution of information and communication technologies,
peoples' knowledge and skills need continuous development. Technology
enhanced
learning is one of the strategic objectives of the EU/IST Work
Programme, with the goal of "improving the efficiency and cost-effectiveness
of learning, for individuals and organizations, independent of time,
place and
pace." Innovative infrastructuctures, methods and approaches are needed to
reach this goal, and will facilitate transfer and sharing of knowledge
between
individuals and in organisations. For e-learning, as in e-commerce and
e-business, systemic changes wrought by emerging technologies are also
changing the relationships between consumption and production - in this
case of knowledge - as what many call 'Web 2.0' becomes more interactive
and user-generated content becomes more widespread.
The First European Conference on Technology Enhanced Learning provides
a unique forum for all research related to technology-enhanced learning, as
well as its interactions with knowledge management, business processes and
work environments. It will provide a competitive yet broad enough forum
for technology enhanced learning research in Europe and world-wide through
specialized workshops and the main conference. The conference will provide
unique networking possibilities for participating researchers throughout the
week and include project meetings and discussions for several EU/IST
projects
funded within the 6th framework program under the action line of
"Technology-
Enhanced Learning and Access to Cultural Heritage".
We welcome submissions describing innovative research on all relevant
issues,
focusing on aspects from computer science, business and/or education, as
well as experience reports and case studies describing innovative
applications
of new learning environments and approaches.
EC-TEL 2006 invites submissions in the following categories:
• Papers and posters
• Doctoral consortium papers
• Industrial reports
• Workshops
Relevant topics for the conference include, but are not limited to:
Collaborative Learning:
Learning Communities, Distributed Teams, Instructional Methods for
Collaborative
Learning, Problem Solving Support, Collaborative Knowledge Building and
Sharing, Collaborative Games, Online Experiments
Personalized Learning:
Reasoning Techniques, Adaptation Patterns and Techniques, Data Mining,
Learner Modeling, Learner Assessment and Testing, Adaptive Hypermedia and
Adaptive Instructions, Competencies in Workplace Learning
