PROCEEDINGS
As in ICTE2002, papers presented at m-ICTE 2003 will be published in a
Proceedings Volume by the Organizing Comitee (Eds.: A.Méndez-Vilas and
J.A.Mesa González), and will be distributed amongst all the attendees at the
Conference. The book will be entitled "Advances in Technology-based
Education: Towards a Knowledge-based Society" and will be published in a
citeable form (ISBN). The printed Proceedings Volume is intended to be ready
for distribution at the beginnig of the conference. For this reason all the
potential contributors are strongly encouraged to strictly follow the
deadlines. The conference organization is also negotiating with several
international publishers and journals in order to offer the possitility to
publish accepted papers in reputed journals, which would maximize the
international impact of papers presented at mICTE2003.
At this moment we can confirm that a selection of authors of very good
research papers will be invited to write extended versions for publication
in a special issue of the International Journal of Learning Technology
(IJLT) (published by Inderscience) and Educational Media International
[website]
Publication of special issues of the Journal of Research on Technology in
Education and the European Journal of Special Needs Education (specially
with papers presented at the Workshop of ICTs for People with Special Needs)
is now being studied.
We accept papers reporting original research (and/or case
study/development), surveys and essays. All papers must be original, that
is, never published before. You will be asked to sign a standard publication
release. All papers will undergo blind peer review. A maximum of two papers
will be accepted per registered author (except for virtual participants, for
which a fee has been established per accepted paper).
For any question or suggestion, please do not hesitate to contact us at
m-ICT...@formatex.org, or visit www.formatex.org/micte2003/micte2003.htm
(Bookmark the page!!) We would also appreciate if could disseminate this
Call for Papers through your Department or Institution.
We hope to meet you at this large, exciting and interdisciplinar
international meeting!
