In response to emerging research diversity, ICCE2011 will be a meta-conference, a conference of collocated theme-based conferences. This is the Call for Papers for the theme-based conference, C2: ICCE Conference on CSCL and Learning Sciences. Since the emergence of the field on Learning Sciences some 15 to 20 years ago, many researchers have developed a passion for understanding how learning occurs. Visions and goals that drive this interdisciplinary field include developing theories of learning, designing technology-supported environments and examining learning in context for understanding, transforming and creating opportunities towards deep, enriched and innovative learning. Researchers in the Learning Sciences go beyond learning outcomes; they are concerned with deep analyses of learning and collaborative processes, how technology and designs are informed with learning theories, and deriving design principles and successful conditions through which change and innovation occur. A strong tradition of research in the Learning Sciences is Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL), a fast- developing field centrally concerned with how learning takes place through computer-mediated collective activity, and how computers and designed artifacts may support and promote collaboration.In C2, we wanted to highlight research efforts in Learning Sciences and CSCL that include and also go beyond those that are developed in North America and Europe. There are many researchers and academics active in this part of the world working on similar research issues and challenges in the field. With the more centralized education system in Asia, various countries in Asia have articulated educational policies and the need to reform pedagogy and learning design towards more constructivist and social-constructivist orientations. These educational changes in the region are advantageous for the field and they provide good possibilities of appropriating the research outcomes of CSCL and Learning Sciences to impact practice, and to inform and chart new research directions. Researchers from different parts of the Asia-Pacific region also pursue their research from different theoretical orientations and contexts. Such diversity and synergy may spark progress in bringing together these different perspectives to CSCL and Learning Sciences. We invite you to participate in this dialogue.
