>Dear new forum member
>
>Thank you for your interest in the forum. I welcome you on the behalf
of
>all the initiators and well wishers of the forum.
>
>I would like to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself and
>explain the intended working of the forum. My name is Kinshuk and I
will
>work as the central point of contact for the forum. I am currently
involved
>in developing interactive learning systems enhanced with intelligent
>assistance while my research pursuits also focus on the contexts of
their
>practical implementation.
>
>The purpose of the forum is to initiate discussions and try to find
some
>conclusive answers to the problems we are facing as educators and
>educational technology developers. If the forum can effectively present
the
>different perspectives of and bridge the gap between these two
communities
>a little, its aim will be fulfilled.
>
>There are two types of discussions in the forum:
>
>The 'Formal discussions' are theme based and they take place for a
>pre-defined time period of one to two weeks. They are moderated to keep
>the discussion on line to reach to some conclusion which includes an
>overall sense of the forum with clearly identified dissent. The
discussions
>will be summarised identifying principal contributors as joint authors,
in
>consultation with the moderator and appear in forum's electronic
periodical
>'Educational technology & Society' (ISSN 1436-4522). It goes without
saying
>that the summaries themselves can be commented on subsequently and form
a
>basis for further discussion. The forum will also seek to convey some
of
>these articles in special issues of paper based journals.
>
>The details of the formal discussion topics and schedule are available
at:
>http://ifets.gmd.de/discuss.html
>
>The 'Informal discussions' can take place any time without any warning
and
>any member can initiate them by sending their ideas to the forum. These
informal
>discussions will feed in to identifying themes for formal discussion.
Attempts
>will be made to summarise the informal discussions over somewhat longer
>period of time, if some conclusive trends are observed.
>
>I invite you to give a little introduction about yourself, as a reply
to this
>email. Please also include some practical or theoretical problems you
would
>like to discuss with regards to the implementation of educational
technology
>in real life, questioning the purpose and contexts of both education
and
>educational technology.
>
>Forum also welcomes various announcements regarding call for papers in
>journals, conferences, job postings and so on if they are related to
the
>forum's activities and of interest to the forum's participants.
>
>Finally, the forum depends on its members and their expression of frank
and
>honest opinion towards discussions. Please do not hesitate to post if
you feel
>it is relevant to forum. Looking at the diversity of forum's
membership, I am
>sure we would have a very rich and fulfilling discussion on a variety
of issues.
>
>Let us have a ferment in the forum!
