Subject: IJ of Knowledge and Learning: 5 special issues announcements

[Accept our apologies for cross-posting]

Dear All,
our strategy for the International Journal of Knowledge and Learning
(http://www.inderscience.com/ijkl) is to make it one of the best journals in the domain of Knowledge and Learning Management.

Currently on printer is the first double volume of 2006, with 10 excellent articles while two special issues are on the queue with
contributions through invitations to the Scientific Coordinators of the big R&D European Funded R&D projects concerning:

1) Technology enhanced Learning and
2) Semantic Based Knowledge Systems

I am very happy to announce 5 more special issue.

1. Special Issue on "Knowledge, Technology and the Digital Divide: Global Perspectives", Guest Editors: Bill Martin, Mohini Singh
and Alemayehu Molla, RMIT University, Australia, CFP available at:
http://www.inderscience.com/browse/callpaper.php?callID=365

A key personal decision is to open IJKL to the Society. This is why the next 3 special issues are dealing with key themes of our
society.

2. Special issue on "Knowledge and Learning Technologies for National Educational Systems: New Horizons for open minds".
The objective of this issue is to analyze how the excellent research on knowledge and learning technologies can be exploited
within national educational systems at all levels.

3. Special Issue on "Knowledge Transfer and eEurope: What is going wrong?"

A key concern for this special issue is to investigate how the research production and delivered technologies of R&D projects can
be used for the benefit of the society, and why currently there is a significant gap in exploitation of these results from the
target groups. In this issue we will have contributions also from members of the European Union Parliament.

4. Special Issue on "Knowledge Society: Bridging the Demand and Supply side of Knowledge and Learning".

This issue is devoted to a multifocus analysis of the Knowledge Society as the new context of our living and working.


5. Special Issue on "Embedding Pedagogy in Learning Objects and Learning Designs"

This issue has a more specific target. The Learning Objects and Learning Designs industry is setting new standards and visions but
from the other hand the beneficiaries of the technologies and the real users have troubles in realizing the new paradigm shift.
This issue is delivering the vision to its full potential.


I am very happy that international well known academics accepted my invitation to co-edit these editions which I do believe that
will develop an excellent context for debate between academia, business and the society.

For the Special Issues numbered 2-5 a detailed announcement will follow in the next couple weeks.

Please dont hesitate to contact concerning these special issues. And if anyone of you feels that can support our work on IJKL from
the EB or the Review board I would be happy.

With Best Regards

Dr. Miltiadis D. Lytras
Editor in Chief of International Journal of Knowledge and Learning "Et in Arkadia Ego"
