FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
=====================

Artificial Intelligence in Education 2011
University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand.
27th June - 1st July 2011

===================================================


The 15th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 
2011) is the next in a longstanding series of biennial international 
conferences for high quality research in intelligent systems and cognitive 
science for educational computing applications. The conference provides 
opportunities for the cross-fertilization of approaches, techniques and ideas 
from the many fields that make up this interdisciplinary research field, 
including: agent technologies, artificial intelligence, computer science, 
cognitive and learning sciences, education, educational technologies, game 
design, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and the 
many domain-specific areas for which AIED systems have been designed, deployed 
and evaluated.

To reflect these broad interests that combine advanced technology with advanced 
understanding of learners, learning, and the context of learning, the theme of 
AIED 2011 is "Next Generation Learning Environments: Supporting Cognitive, 
Metacognitive, Social and Affective Aspects of Learning".

We invite submissions to the AIED 2011 conference, which will be held 27 June - 
1 July 2011, in Christchurch, New Zealand.
