Joint European Summer School on Technology Enhanced Learning 2013
May 26 – June 1, 2013, Limassol, Cyprus
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:
We are pleased to announce the 9th Joint European Summer School on Technology Enhanced Learning, to take place from Monday, May 27th to Friday, May 31st, 2013 in Limassol, Cyprus. Pre-summer school activities are organized all day on Sunday, May 26th. The summer school aims to encourage participants to adopt a critical stance in thinking about the role of technologies in providing opportunities for learners and the potential of these opportunities in terms of learning.
The summer school provides a stimulating learning environment where participants get opportunities to: develop research skills; increase their knowledge base; collaborate with others in their own and complementary research areas; engage in debate; have access to experts in the field; and discuss their own work. For thissummer school the overarching theme is ‘interdisciplinary’ and the focus will be on the challenges and opportunities that arise from working at the boundaries of different disciplines.
The programme covers topics from a broad range of domains which contribute to advancing the field of Technology Enhanced Learning. TEL research projects are encouraged to provide doctoral candidates with a perspective of the state-of-the-art research under study in their working groups. The programme will also include practical and methodological workshops as well as opportunities for doctoral candidates to develop their personal research and discuss their doctoral work.

ACCOMMODATION AND SOCIAL EVENTS:
The Summer School will take place in Limassol, Cyprus. It will be hosted in Navarria Hotel, located close to Amathus Ruins and very close to Limassol town centre. Additional area attractions include Limassol Castle and Limassol District Archaeological Museum. Regular buses to the centre of the city and to other cities run from the main road outside the centre. The venue is within 35-45 minutes’ drive from both Paphos and Larnaca airports. Regular buses to these locations are also available, as well as special buses that we will be arranged for JTELSS 2013.
The cost for doctoral candidates is Euro 570 (including accommodation - 7 nights in double rooms, meals and excursions). The European Association for Technology Enhanced Learning will provide funding to pay summer school fees for a limited number of applicants.
CALL FOR LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS:
If you would like to offer a lecture or workshop at the summer school we invite you to submit a proposal (about ½ page to a full page) describing your contribution, which should demonstrate how your presentation/activity will benefit the doctoral candidates attending the summer school (mainly early to mid-stage). For thissummer school the overarching theme is ‘interdisciplinary’ and the focus will be on the challenges and opportunities that arise from working at the boundaries of different disciplines. If your proposal is selected it will be published on the summer school website.

We encourage interactive sessions rather than lecture-style presentations, and your proposal could include details about how you plan to engage the doctoral candidates. Lectures are usually no longer than 45 minutes and workshops are usually 90 minutes. Some workshops run 2 x 90 minutes. Lectures should provide students with insight into the state-of-the-art in one aspect of TEL or methodologies for conducting research in TEL. Workshops should provide hands-on opportunities to work with new technologies or develop research techniques.
Please submit your proposal to Easy Chair: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jtel2013. Be sure to tick the correct box: lecture or workshop proposal.
