Computer
Based Learning (CBL) is regarded as having great potential for enhancing
the quality and effectiveness of education. Computers have been employed
in teaching for over thirty years, but their use still plays only a minor
role in most school science programs as well as in most undergraduate and
postgraduate courses in mathematics, science and engineering. At present,
there are many software packages available for simulation, intelligent
tutoring, mathematical modeling, static and dynamic book emulation and
visualization algorithms. |
| There
are also many web-based learning environments that make use of innovative
technologies which have the capability to revolutionalize both the process
of constructing meaning and the development of scientific thinking. The
CBLIS community is committed to the promotion of innovative learning
environments for the benefit of the wider scientific community. CBLIS
conferences are organized on a biennial basis with the aim of showcasing
current research trends in designing learning environments and
benchmarking best practice.
|
The conference will provide a forum for the assimilation of views from researchers in the education, philosophy and psychology communities. These contributions will serve as a focus for continued development of computer-based learning environments in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science and engineering. Cross fertilization of ideas between these branches of science will be encouraged by keynote addresses on educational, philosophical and cognitive aspects of
CBL. While specialist presentations will deal with the latest developments in specific areas of science, the broader contributions from each discipline may be integrated to form a powerful set of strategies for CBL in the future.
