A quick reminder that the deadline for submissions for the Workshop on Metacognition and Self-Regulated Learning in Educational Technology is APRIL 20th http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/iroll/workshops/its08/cfp.html Extensions will be given by request only. Looking forward to your contributions, Ido Roll and Vincent Aleven :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: > > CALL FOR PAPERS > > The 3rd Workshop on Metacognition and Self-Regulated Learning in > Educational Technology > > in Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) 2008, June 23-27, Montreal > > http://andrew.cmu.edu/~iroll/workshops/its08 > > Submission deadline: April 20 > > :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: > > While educational technology has been shown to be effective at the domain, > cognitive level, similar success has not been achieved yet with regard to > tutoring better metacognitive and self regulation skills.
