Currently, the face of learning is changing substantially. Formal learning is surrounded by informal learning opportunities, classroom learning is complemented by workplace learning, and even the frontiers between teaching and learning are disappearing as people are learning collaboratively and engaging in knowledge communities.

These developments are being driven by technological advancements. For example, large-scale knowledge repositories provide learners with content and support them in an individualized and adaptive way. Furthermore, semantic technologies provide contextualized and task-specific information and the Web 2.0 enables people to actively take part in knowledge communication and knowledge construction.

These new tools and technical means need psychological and pedagogical models of learning that take into account the vast diversity of situations where learning takes place, as well as the specific needs of individuals, tutors, and organisations.

The Conference welcomes researchers from European and non-European countries and industries and extends an invitation to them to present recent advancements from technologies, applications, and learning models in all areas of technology-enhanced learning. It aims to bring together new technological developments and learning models.

Keynote speakers are Dr. Peter Pirolli from the joint major in Psychology and Anthropology at the Palo Alto Research Centre in California; Dr. Mike Sharples, director of the Learning Sciences Research Institute at University of Nottingham in the UK; and Friedrich W. Hesse Leibniz of the Knowledge Media Research Centre at the University of Tübingen in Germany.
