SCOPE
The Special Session on Collaborative e-Learning Systems (CeLS) aims to
bring together researchers and practitioners working in

innovative pedagogical strategies adapted to group-based e-learning. e-
learning has become an important business process for

corporations, as well as for universities. Despite all the recent
activity, models for how people teach and learn online are

still immature. Often e-learning systems fail due to the lack of
attention and the lack of commitment of the users to maximize

the results of the learning process through the software system.
Learning Communities have become a recognized paradigm for solving
this problem but some attributes are still overlooked. In

particular it is important to realize that in a community there is a
measure of commitment to a set of shared values, norms, and

meanings and a shared history and identification within a particular
culture. Yet, personalization is required in each

individual learning process.
CeLS encourages authors to submit papers describing original work
based on diverse perspectives related to collaborative e-

Learning, including methods, techniques, recent advances, applications
and tools.
