Dear Everybody there at IFETS Forum,

                        Call For Participation

     THE THIRD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE LEARNING SCIENCES
                              (ICLS-98)

                         December 16-19, 1998
                        Georgia Tech, Atlanta

    *** EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE EXTENDED TO: DECEMBER 1ST ***

For registration, technical program, and other conference information, see:

THE LEARNING SCIENCES:
The field of the Learning Sciences is concerned with educational
research from the dual perspectives of human cognition and computing
techonologies, and the application of this research in three
integrated areas:

  DESIGN: Design of learning and teaching environments, including
  innovative curricula, multimedia, artificial intelligence,
  telecommunications technologies, and classroom activity structures for
  supporting learning and teaching.

  COGNITION: Models of the structures and processes of learning and
  teaching by which organized knowledge, skills, and understanding are
  acquired.

  SOCIAL CONTEXT: The social, organizational, and cultural dynamics of
  learning and teaching across the range of formal and informal
  settings.

Investigations in the Learning Sciences approach these issues from an
interdisciplinary stance combining the traditional disciplines of
computer science, cognitive science, and education.

The Third International Conference on the Learning Sciences (ICLS-98)
will bring together experts from academia, research labs, and industry
to discuss problems and issues regarding promoting learning in
real-world situations. Insights into these problems will relate recent
advances in our understanding of human learning and technological
innovations in computing and related disciplines to the challenges
posed by the real-world settings where learning occurs.

INVITED PLENARY SPEAKERS:
Louis Gomez, Northwestern University
Jan Hawkins, Center for Children and Technology
Alan Kay, Disney
Roy Pea, SRI International
Mitchel Resnick, MIT Media Lab
Roger Schank, Northwestern University
Elliot Soloway, University of Michigan
Kurt VanLehn, University of Pittsburgh

PROGRAM:
The advance complete technical program is available online at:

The ICLS98 Conference Committee
