The conference will be sponsored by the Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication (INSTICC) and co-organized by the Aachen University (RWTH).

CSEDU 2013, the International Conference on Computer Supported Education, aims at becoming a yearly meeting place for presenting and discussing new educational environments, best practices and case studies on innovative technology-based learning strategies, institutional policies on computer supported education including open and distance education, using computers. In particular, the Web is currently a preferred medium for distance learning and the learning practice in this context is usually referred to as e-learning. CSEDU 2013 is expected to give an overview of the state of the art as well as upcoming trends, and to promote discussion about the pedagogical potential of new learning and educational technologies in the academic and corporate world.

We would like to highlight the presence of the following keynote speakers :

• Bruce McLaren, Carnegie Mellon University, CeLTech - Saarland University, United States
• Michael E Auer, Carinthia Tech Institute, Austria
• Rob Reilly, MIT, United States
• Susan Zvacek, Fort Hays State University, United States

CSEDU is interested in promoting high quality research as it can be confirmed by last year acceptance rates, where from 243 submissions, 12% were accepted as full papers. Additionally, 30% were presented as short papers and 15% as posters.

Submitted papers will be subject to a double-blind review process. All accepted papers (full, short and posters) will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference, on paper and on CD-ROM support.

The proceedings will be submitted for indexation by Thomson Reuters Conference Proceedings Citation Index (ISI), INSPEC, DBLP and EI (Elsevier Index). All papers presented at the conference venue will be available at the SciTePress Digital Library. SciTePress is member of CrossRef.

Best paper awards will be distributed during the conference closing session. Please check the website for further information.

Workshops, Special sessions, Tutorials as well as Demonstrations dedicated to other technical/scientific topics are also envisaged : companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Workshop chairs and Special Session chairs will benefit from logistics support and other types of support, including secretariat and financial support, to facilitate the development of a valid idea.

CSEDU 2013 will be held in conjunction with CLOSER 2013 (International Conference on Cloud Computing and Services Science), WEBIST 2013 (International Conference on Web Information Systems and Technologies) and SMARTGREENS 2013 (International Conference on Smart Grids and Green IT Systems) in Aachen, Germany. Registration to CSEDU will enable free attendance to any sessions of CLOSER, WEBIST and SMARTGREENS conferences as a non-speaker.
