SCOPE
Inspired by a myriad of emerging networks linking people, institutions and companies, the 1st International Conference on Technology-Enhanced Learning, ICTEL 2010 focuses on innovative concepts of learning and networking both in the corporate and the regular education sector. The conference aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners who are working on next generation ICT enhanced learning solutions, both in higher education and companies. E-learning is currently passing to a next phase where connections are at the core of learning processes, involving people to share and co-create knowledge.

Training and learning have become critical assets in globalizing economies and ICT provide opportunities to make learning an integral part of our working life. In fact, learning is evolving into informal modes, self-regulated and productive. Universities will experience the increasing virtual mobility of students as they will function as nodes in networks of higher education institutions. Knowledge transfer from academia to the corporate sector will also be a major need in future economies, ICT enabling collaboration and the creation of new value chains.

ICTEL 2010 would therefore welcome those who are inspired about new ICT enabled learning concepts, new collaborative environments, and knowledge transfer from academia to the corporate sector. These issues will be an important theme in the years ahead because of the need for life long learning arrangements for all, whatever the level, wherever the phase of professional development. From a technology perspective these developments demand new platforms and tools, and attendees who are working in this field will meet in this conference an interdisciplinary audience of peers, educationalists, HR managers and policy makers.

The main focus of this conference therefore is on knowledge creation and learning in networks of academia with the corporate sector. With respect to this, ICTEL’10 addresses two main questions, namely:

i.How can technology help fostering the knowledge transfer from academia to the corporate sector
ii.What innovative learning concepts can help improving learning at the workplace
The long-term aim of ICTEL hence is to support the development of innovative learning and knowledge creation in both higher education and the corporate sector. Regarding this, ICTEL will disseminate relevant research results, supporting these critical issues.

Venue
Greece, located in the southeastern Europe, is a very beautiful country that offers top quality tourist attractions to the visitor. Consisting of the main land and several islands, it offers beautiful beaches, lovely mountain landscapes, many picturesque villages, and a wealth of archaeological sites and treasures.
Piraeus, Greece's third largest urban centre and now part of the Athens metropolitan area, is located a few minutes away from the center of Athens - Greece's capital named after Athena, the goddess of wisdom, is a very attractive and busy city.
Piraeus has the biggest harbour in all Greece and one of the most important in the mediterranean. At the top of that harbour, many little picturesque and lively bays may be found having many excellent cafeterias and traditional Greek restaurants and taverns.
Piraeus is an ideal place to start off excursions both for island cruising and mainland sightseeing. There are many boats that start off their journey to the numerous beautiful Greek islands from the harbour of Piraeus which is the main connection point to all of the Greek islands.
The conference will be held at the University of Piraeus, which was founded in 1938 under the title of the “School for Industrial Studies” and located in a modern building in the centre of Piraeus (one of the 8 universities in the region of Athens), in collaboration with the department of informatics. The department began operating in 1992 and focuses on both theoretical and practical aspects and advancements of computer science.
