<br><br>This workshop is the continuation of a couple of workshops on Social<br>Inclusion and Learning Technolgies in the Developing World (at AIED<br>2011 and ICALT 2011), and aims to provide a forum for discussion<br>
about sensible introduction of learning technologies in the developing<br>world and cross-cultural differences between countries, across and<br>within developed and developing countries. Focus of the workshop is to<br>explore a variety of aspects related to LT4D, and invites paper<br>
submissions that will address one or more of these topics:<br><br>1) Cross-cultural differences in educational outcomes of AIED systems<br>or non-adaptive learning technologies across countries, developing vs.<br>developed, or across developing countries.<br>
2) Ideas to solve issues of economic cost of adapting technologies to<br>developing countries<br>3) Examples of Localization and Cultural translation of systems and interfaces<br>4) Issues of Inclusion: how to encourage and support both individuals<br>
and communities that are marginalized --economically, socially, or<br>culturally<br>5) Science of sustainable design of learning technologies for the<br>developing world; Sustainability of projects; funding sources; ideas<br>
for maintaining technology resources and personnel<br>6) How education and technology is used in the developing world; how<br>is or should it be used? As a means? As an end?<br>7) Supporting Teacher Training via e-Learning in developing countries<br>
8) How can Educational Data Mining help to support education and<br>reveal information that would help developing countries' education<br>9) Differences in realities and possibilities of implementation of<br>Interactive Learning Environments (ILEs) across the developing world?<br>
Is there a common ground, or are countries too different from each<br>other?<br>10) Issues of timing: Are there key areas where learning technologies<br>can have an immediate impact?<br>11) Models of adoption (or non-adoption) of learning technologies in<br>
the developing world; an analysis of great successes or drastic<br>failures in applying ILEs to the developing world<br>12) Opportunities for leap frogging and avoiding mistakes from the<br>developed world<br><br>Please take a look at our LT4D web site at :<br>
