Antti Oulasvirta used MS academic search to calculate a simple statistic for the HCI conferences: a ranking of average citations per paper. Since MS academic search also offers the same conference citation count for the category Computer Science/ Computer Education (which arguable does not contain all revelant conferences for TEL, but quite a few interesting ones), I played a bit with the data to gauge what you see.
On my first impression, I was very astonished to see numerous conferences pop... Read full post

From one island to the other: freezing at 3:00 in the morning in London Heathrow with 10˚. Jumping on a plane to be hit by scalding 29˚ into the face when exiting the plane in Palermo. EC-TEL 2011, here we come! Thank god we are back to a proper British summer today with a bit of rain to cool down :)
The first day of project meetings has started, to be followed by more project meetings and two days of workshops ahead of the main conference on Thursday and Friday. It's going to be great!

Professor Keri Facer (Manchester Metropolitan University) talks about her new book which questions taken-for-granted assumptions about the future of education. Arguing that we have been working with too narrow a vision of the future, Keri Facer makes a case for recognising the challenges that the next two decades may bring, including: The emergence of new...
