> * Conference background and goals
> The IADIS CELDA 2010 conference aims to address the main issues
> concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies
> and applications in the digital age. There have been advances in
> both cognitive psychology and computing that have affected the
> educational arena. The convergence of these two disciplines is
> increasing at a fast pace and affecting academia and professional
> practice in many ways. Paradigms such as just-in-time learning,
> constructivism, student-centered learning and collaborative
> approaches have emerged and are being supported by technological
> advancements such as simulations, virtual reality and multi-agents
> systems. These developments have created both opportunities and
> areas of serious concerns. This conference aims to cover both
> technological as well as pedagogical issues related to these
> developments. Main tracks have been identified. However innovative
> contributions that do not easily fit into these areas will also be
> considered as long as !
> they are directly related to the
