* Conference background and goals
The IADIS CELDA 2008 conference aims to address the main issues
concerned with evolving learning processes and sup****ting 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 sup****ted by technological advancements such as simulations,
virtual reality and multi-agents systems. These developments have
created both op****tunities 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
overall theme of the conference =96 cognition and exploratory learning
in the digital age.
