[xmca] Second Call for Hosts - CSCL2013
Dear Colleagues,
The Conference Committee and the CSCL Committee of the International
Society for the Learning Sciences invite proposals from organizations
interested in hosting the Computer Supported Collaborative Learning
conference in 2013.
The CSCL conference series is dedicated to the advancement of inter-
disciplinary research on practices of learning and meaning-making in
the context of joint activity and the ways in which these practices
are mediated through designed artifacts. The first CSCL conference
took place at Indiana University in 1995. Subsequent meetings have
been held at the University of Toronto (1997), Stanford University
(1999), University of Maastricht (2000), University of Colorado at
Boulder (2002), the University of Bergen (2003), in Taipei (2005)
hosted by National Central University, at Rutgers University (2007),
at University of the Aegean in Rhodes (2009), and at the University of
Hong Kong (2011). Past CSCL conferences have typically had 300-400
people in attendance.
Proposals for CSCL 2013 are solicited from sites all around the world.
The committees expect to rotate the regional hosts so that the CSCL
conference is accessible to researchers throughout the CSCL community.
We particularly encourage proposals from the Americas for 2013, but
all proposals will be considered.
Interested potential organizers are asked to submit a one-page
preliminary proposal by February 28, 2011. The preliminary proposal is
a one-page letter of intent that should include a brief statement of
the proposed theme for the conference, a range of dates that can be
accommodated, strengths of the organizers, advantages of the proposed
hosting institution, benefits of the location, and any special
opportunities offered by the surrounding areas.
As many as 3 preliminary proposals will be selected to submit a full
proposal. Interested organizations should submit a 1-page preliminary
proposal, or any questions you may have to:
