It is holding more than 500 pages of combined wisdom on Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) in your hands! With the advance of metadata, standards, learning objects, Web 2. 0 approaches to rip, mix and burn learning, wikis, blogs, syndication, user-generated content, W- based video, games and the ubiquitous availability of computing devices we can and have to offer more flexible learning services on a global scale.It provided a unique forum for all research related to technology enhanced learning, including its interactions with knowledge management, business processes and work environments.
Large-Scale Knowledge Resources. Construction and Application ; 3rd International Conference on Large-Scale Knowledge Resources, LKR 2008, Tokyo, Japan, March 3-5, 2008. Proceedings
At the start of the 21st century,we are now well on the way to wards aknowled- intensive society, in which knowledge plays ever more important roles. Thus, research interest should inevitably shift from information to knowledge, with the problems of building, organizing, maintaining and utilizing knowledge - coming centralissues in a wide varietyof felds. The 21stCentury COE program “Framework for Systematization and Application of Large-scale Knowledge - sources (COE-LKR)” conducted by the Tokyo Institute of Technology is one of several early attempts worldwide to address these important issues. Inspired by this project, LKR2008 aimed at bringing together diverse contributions in cognitive science, computer science, education and linguistics to explore design, construction, extension, maintenance, validation and application of knowledge.

Advances in Rule Interchange and Applications ; International Symposium, RuleML 2007, Orlando, Florida, October 25-26, 2007, Proceedings
The goal of RuleM is to develop an open, general, XML-based family of rule languages as intermediaries between various ‘specialized’ rule vendors, applications, industrial and academic research groups, as well as standardization efforts such as OMG’s PRR or W3C’s RIF. A general advantage of using declarative rules is that they can be easily represented in a machine-readable and platform-independent manner, often governed by an XML schema. This fits well into today’s distributed, heterogeneous Web-based system environments. Rules represented in standardized Web formats can be discovered, interchanged and invoked at runtime within and across Web systems, and can be interpreted and executed on any platform.
