*** CONFERENCE VENUE ***

-------------------------------------

Since 1995, the CSCL conference has provided a stimulating and friendly
venue for people interested in the multi-disciplinary issues of
computer-supported collaborative learning to meet in a relaxed atmosphere
with a variety of formal and informal events. Structured activities and
social occasions promote interpersonal relations and knowledge building. The
conference’s human size and structure facilitates getting to know people and
learning about cutting-edge ideas in educational practice, technology
design, CSCL theory, and diverse research approaches.



Hong Kong is an exciting crossroads of the world, a bridge between East and
West. It is easily accessible from Europe and the Americas by direct
flights. The culinary capital of Canton, it offers hotels for every budget.
The University of Hong Kong—one of Asia’s premier universities—is located
within walking distance of the heart of Hong Kong. A former British colony,
Hong Kong uses English widely. CSCL 2011 is designed to offer an affordable
global experience, including a post-conference group tour of educational and
tourist sites in Mainland China—bring your family and students.



-------------------------------------

*** CONFERENCE THEME ***

-------------------------------------

The CSCL 2011 conference theme, “*Connecting computer-supported
collaborative learning to policy and practice*,” builds on CSCL 2009 to
examine whether and how CSCL practices can bring deep changes to formal and
informal educational practices at all levels, and contribute to educational
improvement at a system level by informing education policy. This theme will
be addressed by keynote talks, symposia, trips to schools, and other events.

*** PAPERS ***

-------------------------------------

Conference submissions are welcome on all topics of CSCL research. To be
considered for inclusion in the conference, all long papers, short papers
and poster papers must be submitted by November 1, 2010.  They must be
complete and properly formatted when submitted. Long papers are limited to 8
pages; short papers are limited to 5 pages; posters are limited to 2 pages.
The Program Committee reserves the right to determine whether a submitted
paper is accepted for presentation as a long paper, short paper, or poster.
All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings. Long papers will
be presented in paper sessions. Short papers may be presented in an
interactive format, with brief presentations and then round-table
discussions. Poster papers will be displayed in large interactive poster
sessions.



-------------------------------------

*** SYMPOSIA ***

-------------------------------------

Symposia are welcome on all issues of CSCL. To be considered for inclusion
in the conference, symposia proposals must be submitted by November 1,
2010.  They must be complete and properly formatted when submitted. Symposia
are limited to a total of 8 pages. Symposia should be interactive,
collaborative events about a specific issue. Discussion among members of a
panel and with the audience should be moderated to focus on certain
positions or controversies. (A symposium is not a set of related papers; if
you want to have a set of papers presented together, then submit each paper
for review as a paper, and after the review send an email to the Program
Committee requesting that the accepted papers be grouped together in one or
more sessions—you may suggest a chair and/or discussant for the session.)



-------------------------------------

*** INTERACTIVE EVENTS AND DEMONSTRATIONS ***

-------------------------------------

Interactive events and demonstrations will be presented during the main
conference sessions. They are designed to encourage interaction,
collaborative learning, and hands-on experience with innovative CSCL
technologies or ideas. Proposals that showcase connecting computer-supported
collaborative learning research to educational practice are particularly
encouraged. If you are interested in presenting an interactive event or a
demonstration, please submit a 5-page proposal by December 15, 2010.



-------------------------------------

*** PRE-CONFERENCE WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS ***

-------------------------------------

Full-day and half-day workshops will be held July 4-5, 2011. Workshops
should be designed as collaborative knowledge-building sessions on a focused
issue, where participants work together—e.g., analyzing data, discussing
design criteria, collaborating on a research project. Tutorials should be
designed as collaborative learning experiences for novices on a topic,
technology, or methodology within CSCL, presented by experts. If you are
interested in organizing a workshop or tutorial that addresses a particular
issue in CSCL, please submit a 5-page proposal by December 15, 2010. (A
workshop is not a set of related papers; if you want to have a set of papers
presented together, then submit each paper for review as a paper, and after
the review send an email to the Program Committee requesting that the
accepted papers be grouped together in one or more sessions—you may suggest
a chair and/or discussant for the session.)



-------------------------------------

*** DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM AND EARLY CAREER WORKSHOP***

-------------------------------------

A Doctoral Consortium will be held July 5, 2011, for graduate students
engaged in dissertation work in CSCL.  Also, a workshop for Early Career
faculty and researchers will be offered on July 5, 2011.  If you are
interested in participating in either, please submit an application by
February 15, 2011.
